Yep, that's what you'll have to do with your current setup. But I'd love to see an example of one your pages with all these classes to control spacing. I bet you could do away with most if not all of them, greatly simplifying your CSS and markup. Care to offer one up for the challenge? I know you posted a link to a site in this message, but I'm not sure whether it is an example of a page where you have gotten the text formatting just how you like it, or if you are still futzing with it. I'd love an example of a finished page to try my hand at duplicating with simplified styles. By the way, to start a new thread, do not reply to an existing message. When you do this, your message gets threaded on to the old thread, which messes up the archives and makes it less likely that others will see your message and subsequently reply to you. You must send a new message with an appropriate and descriptive subject line to css-d@lists.css-discuss.org in order to start a new thread. Zoe -- Zoe M.
