Could someone out there who has experience with these three products please answer the following questions: With Draw type packages (esp Canvas 2.0) does the DeskWriter offer any advantages, or do I still get 72 dpi? What kind of incompatibilities are there when using the DeskWriter (e.g. applications that only support ImageWriters and LaserWriters)? Does ATM work well with the DeskWriter, or is it merely superfluous? I'm not too interested in ATM's screen font's, just on getting PostScript fonts onto paper. How well do MS Word 4.0 and Excel 2.2 work with: a: The DeskWriter by itself? b: The DeskWriter and ATM together? I've heard comments here about Word having some compatibility problems because Microsoft didn't always (ever :-) follow the rules; could someone please explain these to me? Please respond by e-mail. I'll summarize and post if there's interest, but I won't have time to do that until about Dec. 16. Thanks in advance, Jay Finger, {ames,mit-eddie}!attctc!torch ames!torch@attctc
