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.
