It's been 24 hours and without looking again -- I believe it was in FAQ #1 or #2 -- the phrase "...in fact..." was stairstepped, one above the other on two succeeding lines. This is a problem because it encourages the eye of the reader to skip whatever is between the two instances. Particularly problematic, since it appeared a third time in the NEXT paragraph/FAQ which _could_ lead a reader to skip several sentences. Obviously this could be due to my screen settings or my browser, but surely I'm not unique in that combination, so I was subtly suggesting that two of those "...in fact..." be removed to avoid causing a misunderstanding. Your FAQ of course. Cheryl
