RE: [boost] printing documentation on A4 - advice on using Frontpage portably wanted.

This sounds good advice - but even better is to warn against starting with Word
(and if, like me, you do start wrongly, you DO want gratuitous source formatting
removed - which I am still struggling to purge because neither Word nor
FrontPage completely do it, despite kind efforts!)

I am now resigned to starting afresh using Frontpage :-(

Thank you.

Paul
