You cannot achieve both. Your choices are: 1. Save as EPS from Illustrator and import into FM. Screen preview is a simple bitmap representation, controlled by AI. Print output is perfect (vector image). 2. Import the AI file directly into FM. The file comes in as a whole-page PDF file, which need to be cropped by the anchored frame. Screen preview is similar to EPS, but can be somewhat better. Print output should be perfect, but some artifacts may appear. (It seems like the PDF "conversion" isn't perfect at all times.) 3. Drag-and-drop the image from Illustrator into FM. This creates a copy of the image in FM, not a referenced file. Screen preview is very good at 100% size (nice BMP bitmap). Print output is the same bitmap, i.e. vector image is lost! -- /Thomas Michanek, FrameMaker/UNIX/MIF expert http://go.to/framers/
