Well, a quite reasonable argumentation. Is this also recommended for other media, e.g. when I print these documents? -- Another problem I see here is if there are many abbrevations on a page, ain't it regarded rather irritating for impaired users (since they might be confused by many expanded short forms)? Wouldn't it be a 'discharge' for them to pass on redundant explanations? Best regards, Jens. -- Jens Meiert Interface Architect http://meiert.com/
