I assume they would do the same thing as someone whom walked over to a machine to find it occupied: Complain to their management that they need more licences. Except with Publisher you don't have to walk over to the other end of the building to discover you wasted a trip. -- Bruce G. Barnett uunet!steinmetz!barnett
