Good philosophy. Good that GRS's tips remain on file.
But it still doesn't answer my own problem: Given an /existing/
document, and wishing to reformat^Wrestyle a page within it, how does
one do this? Everything I've tried either does nothing, or alters the
first page only, or alters everything.
Could someone try this perhaps please, and put me out of my misery?
Either I've very badly misunderstood something, or there's a rather
nasty bug - I rather hope it's the former :-)
(2.4/XP fwiw)
Thanks.
