thanks to John & others for your patience with this: it seems what was
causing a lot of the "padding-chaos" was the width declarations on my
'inner' text boxes, as opposed to controlling width by margin attributes.
When I removed these declarations, all falls into place (even the bottom nav
bar). what a learning curve.

one further minor dilemma; in "cleaning up" my CSS, I removed the "negative
padding" values for the paragraph declaration that had "snugged" the
paragraphs a little closer together, as per my client's wish. How can I now
go about shortening the spacing between paragraphs without resorting to a
negative bottom margin or padding?

thanks all for your help ...

Ralf
