Thanks Craig. I'll either continue with 1.3.5 and let file any bugs I find. So 
far my only problem appears to be with style but it may be my column in my 
news letter is to short for the info. I've been playing with the line 
spacing. Since I only do the newsletter once a month, I can afford to play 
and help the project with bugs. If I find to may I'll go back to 1.3.3.10. 

Thats for all the good work on this project. It made my life much easier than 
using MS Publisher.
