Hi,

Any hints on how I might accomplish this? I would like to draw boxes around subsquares of a table. For instance, in a 10 by 10 table, whose cells I identify here by column/row pairs, I want to box the rectangle whose corners encompass cells (2,3) and (7,6), then add another smaller box around ...

D'oh! Thanks Stefan. And sorry about the events in South Africa today

Hi,
