Thanks, Guido, for the confirmation. -- that's exactly what I've been doing, except for the character space after the page number. Cindy <Cindy, here is what you need at the beginning of a <page if the page number is at the top: <1. page number at the very top line, optionally followed by a <space character. <2. A completely blank line just below the page number. <If the page number appears at the bottom of the page you need <the following instead: <1. A blank line on the second last line of the page. <2. The page number on the very bottom line of the page, <optionally followed by a space character. <Hope this helps, <Guido __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
