Altering HTML Text

Ray,

can you send a couple screenshots to my private email?

Be aware that you can't add to the top of the htmltext property or you'll be
adding text before the DOCTYPE declaration which in my opinion will wreck
everything.

If you want to add text before the displayable content, add it after <body>
declaration but before everything else.

Cheers
andre
