Hi Helen,

Let's have a look at this and use it to start a process for doing some 
tweaks on the new server to customise the looks and css to how we would 
like it. I think this does have to be on a site wide basis rather than 
book specific to keep us sane.

I'll start the ball rolling now and keep you posted.

Thanks
Mick
