Thanks.
I'm not sure the site owner really needs it to match the flyer precisely. I
did upload it as a pdf,
(http://www.tomahawkfallride.com/CustomChopperShow2007.pdf) but it's nearly
a megabyte and we're pretty sure a lot of our target audience is not on
broadband.
So I'll give it a try tomorrow without the positioning.
