In my previous message, I wrote a paragraph that read:

At present, with your embosser set to 25 lines per page and DBT's
maximum lines per page also set to 25 lines per page, they both think
that a new page is required.  That is why you are probably getting
multiple page breaks occurring in your documents, where you don't want
them.

It should have read:

At present, with your embosser set to 26 lines per page and DBT's
maximum lines per page also set to 26 lines per page, they both think
that a new page is required.  That is why you are probably getting
multiple page breaks occurring in your documents, where you don't want
them.

I'm sorry for the error.

Sincerely:

Dave Durber
