A few pages seem to break in the middle for no reason at all, or have a heap of whitespace at the top. Have done a search and have found the odd mention that it's buggy but nothing definite (that I could understand anyway ). If I adjust the margins in the print set-up things preview fine, also if I scale it to 99% it's okay. Everything works really well in IE, but I can't be sure if I have a style problem or if it is a browser thing. It's no big deal really as all the users are on IE, but it is a tad annoying as I use FF for testing, validation and all the compliancy checks and then take a quick look in IE when it's ready to go. The CSS validates and the XHTML Transitional validates. Thanks for any insight _____________________________ Sally
