This solution from Axel works very well as long as I adjust the length in the \raisebox command (it turns out that -8pt works well). It turns out I did try using \parbox before, but not in this way. Nicely done.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you again.</div><div><br></div><div>Gary</div></body></html>
