Answers: Yes and use "Reports" from Activision. It provodes much more control and allows fonts other than Geneva. As I recall, it's < $100 from most mail order software places. The biggest drawback is its less than intuitive setup procedure. I'm not affiliated with Activision, etc., etc.---- Tom Oster - Computing Resource Center Baylor College of Medicine toster@watson.bcm.tmc.edu Opinions expressed here are mine alone.

A much cheaper alternative, and one that might suit your needs, is the PrintReport XCMD. It lets you use different fonts, and control which cards are printed. It's shareware, and its at sumex.
