At least at my first try it works beautifully! I can simply cut and paste the text into a new copy of the file and not bother about dealing with fixing existing figures. It looks like one of my main problems was using Anchor to Character rather than As Character. Now if I can get the pasted charts and graphs to work as well. Still, if not, it is not a big deal to do real screen shots. Is using screen shots a better way in any case? Thanks very much. ----- John Kane Kingston ON Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613)888-2399 -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail
