About hyphens, you're right. I have just started learning Publisher and I should probably read up on propoer text setting. I turned hyphens off, because I was afraid that it would automatically put a lot of hyphens on such small spaces.
In retrospect, on the 1d3 ideas... you're totally right! I overlooked that and could have got just a wee bit more flavour into the format... damn!
Thanks again for the advice!
