	+1 Clive  [More info] Hi, If at the beginning of a sentence you would use a comma ( , ) after the phrase. if used in the middle of a sentence and both sentences would stand alone it would include a semi colon before the phrase and comma after the phrase. If only one sentence would stand alone you would use a comma before the phrase only. Examples follow In addition, the board meeting was dry. OK The board meeting was dry; in addition, Jenny made really poor company. This is OK, but I'd usually write it as The board meeting was dry. In addition, Jenny made really poor company. In termes of meaning, 'make poor company' is a social-oriented phrase that we don't normally associate witha board meeting. The board meeting was dry, in addition to being a pain in the ass. OK. However, the first part sounds formal and the second part sounds very informal. They don't 'match' in register. The phrase 'pain in the ass' is more commonly used of people than of things.  The adjective 'dry' in the above sense is not how I would today expect a meeting to be described.
