Look here: http://alembic.com/cgi-bin/alembic-club/discus.cgi?pg=formatting#other if you type: \ newurl {http:/ /alembic. com/cgi-bin/alembic-club/discus.cgi?pg=formatting#other,click here} without the spaces it appears like: click here Since this has nothing to do with Alembic basses and guitars I started a new thread in miscellaneous: please click here -LOL- You get the idea? It's a kind of magic! Cheers! F.C. (Message edited by fc_spoiler on July 27, 2006) |

Also note the difference between \ link { and \ newurl { Both give you a link with specified title, \ link { will open the link in the same window \ newurl { will open the link in a new window |

Solved! It was the end of the sentence... the sentence was too long to fit on one line in the table so it jumped to the next line. Should have looked better...sorry Cheers! F.C. |
