Hi Joris,

I don't know what I did that was different than this, but your method 
works and my doesn't.  Thanks for the speedy reply, and the great 
editor.  One further question: the book style appears to insert a blank 
page before the table of contents.  Am I expected to put a cover page, 
then a blank page, then a table of contents?  If I want to, can I 
change this?

Cheers,
Nick Alexander
