Have a look at the macro file, om.tmac, and do a search for 'MAC IB END'. IB does exactly what you want (ie indents equally from the left and right margins). Perhaps it'll give you some ideas. Alternatively, the macros QUOTE and BLOCKQUOTE both automatically indent text equally from both margins. -- Peter Schaffter Author of The Binbrook Caucus http://www.schaffter.ca
