Rich Holmes responds to Jon Matousek's continual plugs for Nisus with
the following musical question:

Is anyone else as sick and tired as I am of seeing this BLATANT
ADVERTISING
for Nisus any time someone asks a question about MS Word??

Well, Rich, I can't give you a definitive answer to that question, since
I don't know exactly how sick and tired you are. However, I am really
goddam sick and tired of it myself. I find it particularly irritating
when there may be a way to solve the problem in Word. Nisus may be the
greatest thing since sliced bread, but when someone asks for help with
Word, it seems like they deserve the courtesy of getting some help with
Word, not an unsolicited piece of electronic junk mail.

Now, just so this post isn't pure noise, here's a handy trick I found
last night. I needed to print a legal size page out of PageMaker to my
Laserwriter IINTX. Alas, I have no legal size paper tray, and PM
refused to print the entire document even if I hand fed a sheet of legal
paper. Solution: dump the file to disk as pure PostScript (NOT EPS), and
send it to the printer using Font Downloader or equivilent. Worked like
a charm.
