Hi!

I think I understand. *smile*

If there's a different person speaking or writing, you could preface their
statement with a left bracket, their name, and a right bracket--leaving a
blank line before and after, just like we do with [picture caption]. Just my
two cents worth--which probably isn't worth a whole lot.

Blessings.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion.

It is really tough to describe, Lynnsky, and all very visual, sadly.  For
example, in The Secret, it might have insets from three different people
(denoted by a small icon and their name bolded and occasionally their job
titles) as well as a quote from another person with a script style signature
after the quote, on a separate line.  This is all in addition to the
"normal" body of text.

Clear as mud, huh?
