Thanks, helped me. Its so simple and I had never thought of it. I'd be
embarrassed to explain how I was doing it.
Hi :)
For years and years i was doing this by making a 3 column, 1 row table in the
header and footer, same technique as i use for addresses at the top of letters.
The whole thing became a lot more sophisticated about a decade ago. Different
types of tab-stops helped too.
Regards from
Tom :)
