Then I imported it into Pagestream. Version 1.8 has an excellence! import module. This worked ok, but some things seemed a bit strange. Changing the left and right box borders didn't seem to "de-word-wrap" things. I chalked it up to a bug until I tried to change the top and bottom borders. The text suddenly became elongated as if it were graphics. The solution was to Edit/Copy the text and paste it on a new page and then delete the original. Now, I did save the document in excellence format and not text format. This may be a better solution for long documents. -- --------------------------- Signature Version 1.0 --------------------------- | bear@bu-pub.bu.edu enge05c@buacca.bu.edu | | "There are many perks in being the mother of a living god. | | Nice apartment, car, free parking." | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
