I think I have found another instance of that problem. If you specify the author's firm with .AF it gets stored away in cov*firm but it is not referenced or used anywhere except 0.MT, 4.MT and ms.cov. Try the following test: .TL Merger Technical Specifications .AF "ABC Corporation" .AU "Christopher Craft" .AT "President" .AS This memo details the specifications for the planned merger. .AE .MT "Merger Description and Marching Orders" As a result of our talks with XYZ corporation, we plan to go forward with the merger. This document contains the following: .BL .LI Schedule and time tables. .LI Financial statements. .LI Asset allocations. .LE .SP Please add any corrections you have, then sign the approval line indicated at the bottom of this sheet. .FC .SG .AV "John W. Doe, XYZ Corporation President" .AV "Sylvia Q. Public, XYZ Corporation CFO" .NS Everyone in the corporation. .NE It should show up in the right top of the page - or at least that is what neatroff does. Sincerely, Andreas
