Hi Ann,
Never mind Auntie Flo - she's a bit of an old dragon lady
anyway. (Smile)
Title Pages should not actually have the h1. Style applied
on them.
There are in fact three special Styles, tp.author.
tp.general. and tp.title. Designed for this purpose.
I'm sure the BANA experts here will explain their use in
more detail.
George Bell.
