Stylesheets are already selective in what they save, so maybe they could select just a little bit more? Eg. x- and y- thumbnail gaps take a bit of experimenting to get right (the x-gaps for different labels I use are 2.1mm and 2.7mm respectively) and, since they're tied to their particular document formats, they seem to be exactly the sort of things a stylesheet should remember. > Maybe you could just create an empty document and use it instead of a > stylesheet. Yes, that's what I must do, but then what's the point of stylesheets? Anyway, this isn't a serious criticism - OP is fantastic - but even something good can sometimes be improved!
