huh - which do you want comma.. no problem. I figure copy 200 pages (100
hand outs) for Saturday and another Sunday.

Alright - well I updated the en file - with the header you introduced
and changed the layout to something similar to the es file from earlier,
but with the new header accommodated, changed to left justification.

I think this is reading perhaps even better again. What do you think.

Updated both files on the wiki:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challenge-en.pdf
and the odt file of course.

So I suppose there is, what 2 items left from above - comma and euro is
that it.  Also color paper is out - unless both that header and the logo
graphic are changed - the document icon part of the logo turns the color
of the paper, of course...

thanks
