Re: A couple of doubts about formating

Sorry Matthias, as I said on that list I didn't want to offend anybody. I
just need to tweak these problems and need it to be done ASAP. Maybe it is
my bad choice of words that lead you to believe I was complaining. Please,
don't believe that, I just needed help and this list is slower than
BibDesk's. As for your suggestions I'll follow them on my next thread,
because I believed a minimal example would be just a couple of lines that
show the problem, keeping the header in case some problem is found there.

I'll check your tips and will reply in case I need more help.

Again, sorry for the problems and thanx for your help.
