That is my own opinion as well (I have customised a lot with ERT), but was hoping I would receive some pointers on how to style (with ERT) pages to match each frontmatter type. Currently I'd like a "Declaration" page with the title centred just like the Acknowledgements and Abstract environment. The "List of Abbreviations" would be left aligned and typefaced exactly as the "List of Tables" and so on. > SteveT > > Steve Litt * http://www.troubleshooters.com/ > * http://twitter.com/stevelitt > Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance > -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
