But general pages are printed left to right.<br />Hugs and happy Sunday evening to you!<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-18741469569169772092014-07-13T13:42:02.657+09:002014-07-13T13:42:02.657+09:00Dear Miyako.
