Oh, yes. I was playing around with silly stuff like crazy donut shapes with 15
columns. I'm afraid if I'm not very stern with myself I will get into the mode
of "I'll do this because I *can*" :) Luckily next newsletter issue is scheduled
for right around April 1, so I can excuse silliness as an "April Fool's" prank
:)

Thanks - based on another comment I receieved I also think it is this spacing
issue (I'm not at my computer right now so I can't check right away). I think
the extra space around the frames is a GOOD THING, even if it briefly paniced
me when I opened up those docs :) After all, they're already at the printer's,
so it's not a big deal anyway.

Thanks again!
