On closer inspection ... the problem is that LaTeX is reading the closing brace of your fbox command as an item in the description environment. I got round this eventually with the solution I mentioned before (i.e. create your own boxed minipage environment) but still can't get it to work with plain fbox. See attached LaTeX file for the workable version. Robin
