The title is 'Seven-Storey Pagoda'. Is it necessary to capitalise 'Storey'? |

No, it isn't necessary. The hyphen makes 'Seven-storey' one word, not two.  |

Best regards |

I notice that we cannot copy and paste. In other forums, when members reply they can copy the name or any other typed items and paste as part of the text.
It this could be done, then my name could be copied and pasted. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
