<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">A quick reminder that when
you're looking at your totals while building your selections, the total
includes the alternates. So for instance in Case Studies, you'll see
the following, which means you have 16 total selections, including
alternates (14 selections + 2 alternates). This will be graphically
clear as you build your selections and order them.<br>
