Dave, I'm not challenging the architectural design that allows local stylesheets to override, yet build on, the default stylesheets. (Though it is obvious that I am not yet facile enough with them for me to realize that was the answer to my first question.) I think it is great, though I would rather minimize the auxiliary tasks necessary to create the documents. That will improve the chances that my successor will be able to maintain what I create. My larger question was, I guess, philosophical. The reason I tried legalnotice in the first place was because I assumed it would be used for important stuff, stuff that will be faithfully reproduced in all typical output formats. I was taken aback to have my "This is a draft copy" disclaimer disappear and wanted to know why. I have a copy of the definitive guide (Thanks Norm!) and will dig into the section on overriding stylesheets. Scott
