On the Mac connected to the ImageWriter, use the Chooser to select the LaserWriter, even though there isn't one attached. Word adjusts its rulers and font widths differently depending on the current printer. The LaserWriter margins are generally narrower than the corresponding ImageWriter margins, so I have found it easiest to leave the LaserWriter selected while formatting, then use the TogglePrinter FKey to switch to the ImageWriter to print a sample. Since the ImageWriter margins in Word are wider, I don't get funny wordwraps and unexpected broken lines this way. > >Thanks in Advance, >Scott Le Grand aka sml108@psuvm.psu.edu <chaz> -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chaz Larson - clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu "Hey, I'm no Jack Kennedy..." - Flaming Carrot ----------------------------------------------------------------------
