I'll try that at home. also I'm trying to make everyting perfect or as perfect
as it will get. I hope I can finish the book in now 12 days. Maybe if I work
on it a bit I can do that.
Does anyone know if the special chars thing is accessible wiht vo? if not I'll
memorise the keystrokes and go with that. the last time I did that on the
sample document I ended up with a mess. lol!
Tc all and I don't give up! not easilly anyway.
