Does >anyone have a solution? We've had this problem for a long time, since well before Windows 3 It isn't a problem on our printers, but a lot of imagesetters and Apple hardware hates them. Please note, a Control-D is placed at the beginning AND END of your PS files. (Although it hits the last one only after printing your file - it still baff's on it, but it doesn't affect your printing) I wrote a program to take them out, so we run files through that. Lately however we have just been using a Word macro to take out the Control-D's and save the file. Its fast and easy so we haven't worried about a better solution.
