What I will do is take the text, and such, you have and replace the 
"working master" version with your work in the various panels.

Of course I have not dealt with making "side notes" so I will be looking 
at that was well.

Most of the text came from one of the files that were already listed in 
the flier gallery section and been online for a long time [as far as I 
know].  But it will be good to get a corrected version.  With the text 
editing, it seems you were able to fit both "inches" and "cm" into the 
text so there will need only be a Letter and an A4 paper size version.

I will work on it later.
Back giving trouble after I hauled a [delivered] box from the apartment 
office to my place and put together a new office chair to replace the 
40+ year old desk chair I have been using.  That "hauling", even with a 
"dolly", is something my doctor[s] would yell at me for doing.  But, it 
was needed to be done.
