Oh perhaps then somebody can tell my council of this system.. grin. They seem to have adopted what I often call the pudding concept of document writing. I'm sure I need not explain that if you have every mixed a pudding.

So you can have one section which is landscape while the rest are portrait (maybe to show a wide table), you can have different numbering - think a book which isn't numbered for the title page and copyright, but has a preface with roman numeral numbering then regular chapters that are numbered normally. You can have different headers and footers - again for chapters in a book, each chapter might have the chapter title in the header. So sections are more useful for longer documents. Text columns are also now reported, for documents with multiple columns (such as a newsletter). Regards Quentin.

Most files I seem to get have one section containing everything! --
