- Not me. Looked good on paper, but was worded so badly (or edited badly)
- that it was hard to follow, at least for a cabbage head like myself :)

- I couldn't tell either. Have to take another crack at it tonight...
-
- Just as a side note, whats the deal with LW Pro crappy editing and
- proofreading? There have been numerous issues that have had pictures
- missing, paragraphs missing or edited for space so badly that they are
- confusing.
-
- Working in a graphics department where we publish at least 3 newsletters a
- month, along with numerous brochures and books always in the works, I don't
- understand how such errors go by unnoticed, or unattended to.
-
- Please LW Pro, hire more people to help make the mag even better, or at
- least more 'solid'.
-
- Thanks, James K.
