Well, if you're going to screw up an answer, might as well do it big time.
My apologies to everyone!

Interesitng article by David Parker. I tried modifying the space shape,
such that the entry for area, as set in the Shape*** > User-defined Cells
Sechtion > User.visFMAreaPrec > Prompt became this: ="# ##/## uu;0.0 uu;0.00
uu;0.000 uu;0.0000 uu" That gives you the choice of fraction or decimal
display of the area value. Thanks Al, David.
