Take a look at how printing is done in Excel 3.0. There is a Printer Setup table for each document. In it you are able to set the resolution, fonts, orientation for each document on an individual basis. This is probably how WfW 2.0 will handle it. However, you will be able to insert a new Page Setup at any time. The method they probably use to do this trick is: record the current setup set the printer to teh document settings print reset the original setup -- - Jeff (jaltman@ccmail.sunysb.edu)
