Irregular-Shaped Fields

[Edward D Lavieri Jr]

Thanks, Scott.

I will experiment with the formattedRect property. It is frustrating  
because I just finished a large project, just to have this requirement  
thrown in at the last minute. If it was not challenging, it would not  
be any fun.

Thanks again,
Ed
