I'm glad you said that. This has been a confusing thread, not because of most of the content, but because of some kind of enhanced mean of "A4". It's nothing but a paper size similar to but different from the US letter size. And since nearly any program needs the ability to print, I just can't see the importanting of "A4" to the discussions. I was beginning to think I'd missed something; and that was bothering me<g>. Well: A little.
