This could be a useful tool if one understood what happened. I have to suspect Word (4?) as the culprit rather than the Dewskwriter, however. I would be very interested to learn about any other 'hidden talents' of the DW. For example has anyone noticed that a '50%' fill pattern from Superpaint or whatever prints as a very nice 300 dpi grey, but every other fill (is far as I can tell) prints like a 72 dpi 'screen dump'. Is there a way to get other high resolution fills (without doing a 25% reduction of the entire document) form my 'low end' graphics applications? George Jefferson jeffe@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
