What I mean is that there is a shift from the talk about our
replacement illustrations and illustrators in the introduction, to a
project wide scope and very formal headings - with almost the same
information below. Hm yes, it's not just the headings I feel are out
of place, it's the whole section. If the few items of added info is
moved elsewhere, it could even go away completely. Alternatively,
maybe the introduction text could contain less of the info that's
repeated.


OK, I've altered it to how I think is more in line with what you're 
thinking of?

In fact, you are now yourself credited below a heading for artistic
contributions. Maybe the section heading could just be 'Credits' and
the note about the artistic contributions being invaluable could be
part of the introduction?

Well, while I can't draw for toffee, I was thinking my own 'artistic contribution' was the design and layout of the document! ;-) Actually, I did originally put my own credit in a smaller font, but I seem to have erroneously reversed the downsize at some point. Still, that's not important any longer since I'm the only 'additional contributor'.

(Yes, I took part in an formal inspection of a product description
document at work today. Does it show?)

It would't be a message from me if it didn't end with "A few more...":

I guess it's only fair after all the 'a few mores' I've sent your way regarding Grey Star over the past couple of years! :-p

The description of Chris's contribution is neatly left adjusted after
the dash, while J.C.'s and Michael's are not.


No longer present.

The pages with Chris's illustrations should have his name as
'Christopher'. just like the front page.


Fixed!

The page numbers in the copyright section are wrong, at least for
Chris (it's now 3 pages).


Fixed!

Since there are "real" page numbers (even though they are not
printed), whu not include a Table of Contents?

Page numbers added, though it meant I had to re-jiggle a few aspects of the layout to make room for them.

I've knocked together a ToC, though I'm not sure if it's the sort of thing you mean. In doing so, I've reoriented the Title Page to portrait rather than landscape. There aren't hyperlinks on the ToC, though, because you have to link to a Heading in Word; you can't link to a page number (a darn oversight, if you ask me!).

Hey, if you've got so much time on your hands, Thomas, why not write a tech reply to the poor guy having problems downloading The Magnamund Companion? :-p
