could you be more precise and give us the problem you have, and
preferably the files that you used as examples). With this we will be
able to test ourselves and report more precisely some comments.

OK

We'll try to be more precise. (at least, as the person who translated
the documents to French and tested them, I'll try to be).

THanks you for joigning and helping with schooltool.

PS could you present you a little : where do you work, which kind of
