I've had the same question, and I'm glad you asked, Monica. I've thought that maybe the numbers are easier for some people to read if they're flush left. If all the numbers are in the same place, I've left them, but the books I've validated, especially txt, have them in different places, and don't hve them consistently so I have to put them in. Also, some books seem to alternate having the page numbers on the left and right margins. Cindy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
