I think having the print ot disk option available up front (as oppsed to having to generate it with hidden keystrokes) is a great feature, and if it didn't cause an incompatibility with Word 3.x printing, I would install it on all systems. In any case, with background printing enabled, I don't think any LW driver can still look for and accept keystrokes (ie. cmd-f). Jeff White University of Pennsylvania jeff@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
