Hi Jukka,

It has in fact been pointed out to me that the material that I will
be presenting is in fact legitimate tabular data and I will be taking
your advice and using tables for this particular data. (As I have also
taken advice from your site concerning footnoting without superscript
links:-).

I have searched for information on indenting the second line without
much success. Do you have a link?

Thanks for your trouble,

Andrew.
