Guess what. That worked! (ecstatic happy dance....) Two words... woo and hoo. Ooops, that's three. What the hell... A big thanks to Dfox! You da man !! Gosh, from what I had read I thought it would take textwidth and wrapmargin together to make this work, but...I guess that's baloney. I do have textwidth set to 0 right now; is that going to cause some bad effects or shortcomings that I haven't seen yet? Thanks again dfox...
