I have a Personal %LaserWriter LS, which is a 300 dpi, non-postscript printer. My %understanding is that the computer basically sends a bitmap of the %page to be printed, so the printer is too stupid to be at fault here. % %What happens is this: Rotated text gets printed at 72 dpi. It happens %with Pasted PICT objects, as well as ones made with Word's own PICT %editor. I, too, would like to hear the responses to this, as it is major gripe when I attempt my final prints. -- Art Urban urban@yoda.fsl.noaa.gov =============================================================================== "Look, he's being attacked by creamy nugget centers." -Joel ===============================================================================
