Hi :)
I recently started using "Anchor to paragraph" instead of "Anchor to
page" which i had previously preferred. It's difficult to get the
balance right either way tho.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom.
I was out 1 line every 1 or 2 pages, which in 40 pages put my
layout, images, illustrations, etc. all askew.

really think about it much let alone grok it! I think you have
just given me a big clue as to why my bosses machines don't
display my documents correctly. It could easily be formatting
issues related to them having different versions of the same font.
It's a bit weird because they just use Windows and one of the
machines appears to be identical to my neighbouring colleague's
machine. Howeve3r my neighing colleagues machien had a reinstall
of Xp so it's possibly got the fonts slightly different.
