Hi Macropod, the Mice bow to the Kangaroo, changing a line's font would be a simpler fix than mine (changing the lead space before the para following the equations). Trouble is, the horizontal alignment is not exactly a half line out. I tried your suggestion on Jamal's file using different fonts but it wouldn't let me specify font sizes more accurately than by 0.5 increments and I couldn't get perfect horizontal alignment. If horizontal alignment is the issue, a para lead space of 14.1 pt before the "Where" gives a reasonable result.
Hi Jamal, you don't happen to know Pete Williams who worked on land spoil reclamation in your part of the world, do you?

Pete Williams! I'm sorry! i don't know him!

Back to Word, I'm not sure why simple things sometimes have no answer or at least ave complicated one!

For the time being, as MSc student, I'm a heavy user for MS-Word and struggling from time to time in solving problems! i do really appreciated the efforts of PAUL who is all the time online to offer advices...


thank you

Jamal
