Thanks, helped me. Its so simple and I had never thought of it. I'd be 
embarrassed to explain how I was doing it.


Hi :)
For years and years i was doing this by making a 3 column, 1 row table in the 
header and footer, same technique as i use for addresses at the top of letters.  
The whole thing became a lot more sophisticated about a decade ago.  Different 
types of tab-stops helped too.  

Regards from
Tom :)
