Art,
I hope that I can answer all of your questions:
(1) the VIA problem -- in the Appearance Condition for that
TEXTBBOX - be sure and put Len(MGR)>0
(2) I did my freq a bit different -- and if you want, you can
look at a webpage at my website at:
http://www.qsl.net/wa6axe/freqfrmt.html
(3) WRT the QSL card stock -- the one place that is available
and is GOOD is at:

Gud Luck!!
