Stefan,
You are amazing! That is a LOT of work to figure out a solution to my
problem. Thank you so much.

I must have missed (or probably lost) a post--I can't find the one about
imaginary boxes. So thanks to Valerie too (of course) for all the work you
went to not only to invent SW in the first place, but to make it so useful,
and help us through each application of it.

I get two for each file on the short (18 box) exports, a 58 and a 10 kb.

The mystery goes deeper. I split my file into 18 imaginary boxes, but that
didn't solve the problem. The export program gave me two files for each one
I made, one with the first six imaginary boxes of each column (58kb), and
one with the seventh of each column(10kb). The first was named galat4ca, as
I named it; the second was given the name galat4c2 by the export program.
But I then followed your directions, and in addition, added a space after
the sixth imaginary box. Then I columnized the file. Then I exported it.
And I got two files. One with everything I wanted, and one with the blank
spaces, which I threw away.
So thank you. The job is done. If I ever want to do long documents, I will
buy Acrobat 4.0, but since mine was only two sentences, I will wait on that.
