- Hi Lisa,
I made a really inadequate remark about your question about getting text onto the page, a problem I have never solved, I had a brief look at your work and it looks to be you've got a handle on it. I'd want to know a lot of technical details if you're willing to talk about this.

Thanks I really appreciate your comments.
