Dear Crescent, (or dear anyone else who cares to answer) I was looking at your dark and stormy day example (bother, I wish I'd thought of that :-) ) and I wanted to know, are you supposed to do thoughts in italics? I've never used them before, so I was wondering where you would appropriately use italics and bold print Some hints on rows of dots would be good too. Last, but definitely not least, how do I do a txt attachment? Explanation extremely welcome.....pretty please? Shanna
