unimportant in a preview, I agree, but then I never use the caps option so
others might disagree. Likewise #7, spelling out the months. But #4 and #5
both
effect how, or if, a preposition is used, so I'm inclined to see them as more
important.
We'll see if anyone else has a view. Or are we the only ones that think this
might be useful??

Terry and Beth. I am following your discussion and think it is VERY USEFUL,
I just haven't had anything to add of use to what you to are discussing yet.
But it seems to me, that the preview could just use the last options picked
for a report, or maybe there could be an option screen for the preview page.
That way you could pick your options, and then see how they are going to
print in reports.
