it, its got a black background with cahnged coloured words and my
recepient say they get the file viewed as normal?

errrrr.... :)

sorry Cliff... there is no way to have 2 pages at once in Illy, but
still u can keep some hopes. cos u can make it urself. if ur pae size
is A4, get the page size to the double size (A3) and get a guid through
the middle and carry on ur work.

how smart is that...! :)

Once again, Illustrator is what "Illustrator" says it is.
If you would like to do desktop publishing then get such a program.
I sometimes use CorelDraw or Quark for mutiple page layouts.

Yeah... i agree... ;)

But the best option would be Adobe InDesign. Quark and Corel Draw are
also able to make multiple pages.

[Anyway... i hav designed even Annual reports and Corporate Magazines
using Illustrator by using my above mentioned fake method. ;) ]
