« on: February 06, 2013, 10:14:20 PM »
1. I write a report. It is 62 pages long
2. I e mail it to a wumman in Bristol
3. She claims it is 51 pages long. She e mails it back to me and we discuss it over the phone WHILST LOOKING AT IT. Her version is 51 pages and mine is 62 pageS
4. WE exchange versions whilst staying on the phone. Hers is always 51 pages long and mine is always 62  Banghead
5. The problem is the pagination on the Contents page  Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead
6. She converts it to a .pdf and sends it again.
7. It is now 58 pages long  cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:
