Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will try it right now. I have another
question, if you don't mind. Do you know if this is the correct way to do
multi-layout documents? I have never seen them in print before so not sure
if I'm making it a bigger issue than it needs to be? Should the footers
all match as you flip through the book? The only thing about doing it in a
text box down the side is that it seems to distract your eye from the rest
of the content to the right of it?
Thanks again,
Cindy
