Richard, I'd thought of that -- but this means putting them together in Lyx for each report, and I'm not sure that can be done in a batch mode. But perhaps I can figure out a way of modifying the Lyx file for each report. Certainly any hand-tweaking the final result would be easier in Lyx than LaTeX. Les -- L. R.
