New bookmark ready to go
I'm ready to send the new bookmark to the printer - can you have a look at it and make sure it looks OK? (The top of "On the web" at the bottom doesn't get cut off when it's printed.) Carol says we can print it all in color.
Thanks. It's at H:\Bookmarks\Bookmark.doc.

new template--already!
I changed the template because the first one I had chosen didn't allow us to add links easily.
