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
