Thank you for all the help everyone who responded. I'm certainly going to take a look at TeX/LaTeX for my up and coming dissertation write-up for my MSc degree. Thanks especially to Viktor for writing the book -- I'll take a look. I really don't know enough to even know the difference between TeX and LaTeX. Is there a FAQ or a "Dummies guide" ? I'll google for it and see what I get. Thanks again for the help, Tarik
