I can't agree that it's not a very common word : Google find over 19K2 hits for "abuts" in the UK alone, and 0,25M world-wide. Of the early hits, apart from those that refer to the definition of the word itself, the remainder all clearly indicate that it is in fairly common usage when discussing property or land. Refining the search to "abuts" and "typography" reduces the hits to circa 450 but there are certainly instances not entirely disimilar to the spec. originally referred to : 'the last letter of the name abuts the 3/16". margin' Philip Taylor -------- R.J.Koppes wrote: > I do agree it's not a very common word, so maybe replace it just to avoid > confusion?
