Very clever idea, Geoff! Thanks! I'll give it a go.
What about an image reference within PDF? For instance, if I wanted to
change the logo on the letterhead, but could guarantee that it was
exactly the same size logo everytime? Don't want to change this into
a PDF thread, but if there's a way to do that, it'd 100% solve my
problem!
Thanks gobs.
