	Newguest  #489669  Sun, 16 Mar 08 08:38 PM Hi How should I write it: p. 54-55. OR ps.54-55 . Should it be p. which stand for a page or ps. if there are more pages than just one   ..the amount of €199,17 a month.  THERE SHOULD BE A COMMA OR A PERIOD BEFORE 17?   thanks    Newguest Joined on Sun, Feb 25 2007 Regular Member (947)

	Newguest  #489696  Sun, 16 Mar 08 10:23 PM one more question. Do we put USD before the number or after it, or  maybe it doesn't matter, i.e., USD 2,687 or 2,687USD    Newguest
