Lovely,
Thanks very much Jay - yet another tick box I hadn't noticed!
As for styles, this will take me a bit of getting used to and some more
reading I think. I still don't understand why some formatting steadfastly
refuses to change - such as when I paste into an e-mail and then can't add
anything that isn't in the pasted item's style and highlighting it and
trying to change it is ignored.
Anyhow: one step at a time,
Regards,
SteveH
