As to the graphs, we use Excel to PDF (at this point full pages less header and footer). To get the PDF print to file via distiller driver then distill the ps file. <http://www.rdpslides.com/psfaq/FAQ00053.htm> This allows us to do a mix of tables, bar charts and line charts. I would love to know how to do similar charts in Illustrator but it really seems as if the Excel is the best method. The one qualifier is we have a few full page tables generated in Excel then pulled into ID as a PDF - these are having problems with as you can not copy text out of the final PDF in pages with those tables. Thus I am moving all tables into ID. iolaire
