Yes, that's right -- sorry for not explaining very well.

The file is here: http://www.vermilionsands.eu/etc/booksale.zip

What I wanted was a continuous block of text in the black area, 
completely filling it with words running from one line to another. 
Thinking about it, I would also have wanted micro-justification 
(letter spacing adjustment) so the individual letters aligned on the 
right side too. Bit much to expect from AW, but OvationPro can do 
this. But I can't see how to turn off word-wrapping in OP.

I think I'm going to have to do it manually, with text-lines and 
kerning. Or just give up -- I might have decided the effect wasn't 
right anyway once I'd seen what it looked like ;-)

An oddity: NetSurf (28 Jun) will not render the file properly -- none 
of the text in the black area shows up. I have the latest AWRender and 
support modules (5 Jul), which does display it properly. NS problem?

Thanks for all the comments, everyone!

Best, Chris
