VERY sorry for this, this is the first time that you've 'pulled' me up about the dittos issue which in my opinion has never been clear - it's clearer now! I'll go over the pages I've already done for this volume & sort them & make sure I get my 'dittos' sorted in future. As far as I can see I;ve now accounted for the dittos in this volume, on the pages that are not locked, DFF 18/05/14
