If the goalpost is something that prevents a close shot going into the
goal, then I agree.
I've just spent some time with a friend who is trying to produce a
pamphlet, and as Word cannot do page imposition he has been trying to
produce two-column landscape pages with (effective) page 12 and page 1
as the two columns on the first page; etc. Mind-blowing stuff.
And of course if any changes are made which cause the page/column
boundaries to be crossed the whole thing collapses into a jumble. The
whole thing collapses if the file is taken to another computer where
one of the fonts is not available, is substituted and a page/column
boundary changes.
Every Risc OS word processor/DTP program: EasiWriter; Impression and
OvationPro can produce pamphlets by imposition at printing.
A goal is entirely different from hitting the goal-post.

Roger
