-I'm trying to remember books I've validated with tables and charts. I seem to remember (though I could be wrong) that in most cases they illustrated what the text says -- or at least the text explains what teh graph or table says, albeit briefly. Most of the time, can't you just say, in brackets "table here illustrating text?" Just a suggestion. Cindy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
