In a message dated 97-06-14 04:48:51 EDT, you write:

<< You are both right. Where the eye is drawn depends also in part on the
format or binding of the paper. If a piece is bound or folded, like a
book or newsletter the eye naturally goes to the upper right first,
especially when scanning for information. The convention is binding or
folding on the left edge. We wouldn't turn a book over to thumb the
edges of the pages. If the book is open, we may still look at the top
right corner first, because graphics tend to be there, but will begin
reading on the far left, even if there are several columns of text.

Thanks, your response sounds logical. Any studies you can point to?
