if you check out the READ ME file (that came with your copy of ATM) it says
under the _Application-specific Notes_ section:

	"Aldus Freehand(tm) 2.0: Larger text sizes and rotated text
	 features do not use ATM"

the cut-off point is at 250points. why? i really don't know for sure except
that this is not a limitation of ATM.

hope this helps.--d
