I don't doubt your observation, but it does show incompetence on the part of the Finale programmers. There is *nothing* built into Windows that knows a damned thing about PostScript (unlike on the Mac, where it's fundamental to the OS). The only part of the OS that knows anything about PS at all is the printer driver. The only thing about printer drivers that has changed in Windows is the new driver model, introduced first in Windows ME and Win2K. That was *1999*, nearly EIGHT YEARS AGO, and they just made it marginally workable in Finale 2K6, if I'm remembering correctly. Something is wrong with their programmers, especially given that Sibelius has never had any problems at all in this regard, even considering the changes in Windows versions. -- David W.
