However this is slow and looks pretty sad on the screen. I have >first word + but no driver for it. Ideally I am interested in purchasing a The first thing I did for my DJ+ was to write a driver for 1st Word. It does most things (bold, underline, super/subscript (a bit)). I've been meaning to update it at some stage. Someone mentioned DJ margins. They took a bit of working out. I use Calamus which allows proper margin use. If you set the margins on the screen to look OK they will come out off center etc. on the printout. Just make a large box (not filled in of course, just the outline) taking the whole page, print it in draft, adjust it print it in draft again, adjust it (all on the same bit of paper) until it comes out centered and no bits missing and then set the margins to the perimiter lines of the box. Off the top of my head, left = 2.5 cm, right = 0.5 cm, top = 3 (approx), bottom = 0.5 cm. This will allow some space on the left for hole-punching. ------ Tim Knipe 781105@sheoak.bcae.oz
