One approach would be to use the ImageSaver "printer", which comes as part of the Glue package. ImageSaver is a printer driver that you can install in your system folder and select with Chooser; it accepts QuickDraw printer instructions from your application and simply writes them to a disk file. The resulting file of QuickDraw PICTs can be sent, and then viewed or hardcopied with Glue utilities. [It can also be send in a "package" via MCI Mail, if you use Desktop Express. What's even more fun is that you can instruct MCI Mail to laserprint a hardcopy and deliver via overnight courier or standard snail-mail; thus, you can email nicely-formatted Mac output to people who don't have Macs]. I believe that the entire Glue package (including ImageSaver, and Glue-file viewers and hardcopiers) is available for about $50 retail, and probably less on-the-street. Cheaper than Word 3.01, although not free.
