Pat, This is a link to the information below http://www.prepressure.com/ps/dbase/typecheck.htm. It's kind of technical but the advice regarding copying and pasting and resaving your document may fix any corruption problems you might have. If the problem is with a Style Sheet, I would suggest that your remove all styles before copying and pasting and resaving to minimize the problem being copied to the new file. EB General description This is one of the most common PostScript errors. It signals that the RIP encounters an operand of a wrong type - i.e., an operator expected one type of data and got something else. Most common causes Typecheck errors are usually cause by corrupted data. This may indicate a problem with the printer driver. Try reinstalling it if the error occurs printing from various applications. Check the network and/or server if the error persists. Try copying and pasting your data to a new document. Try opening and resaving all images and drawings. Offending command "dF3(!2xT" (or other random characters) If the offending command contains random characters, it may indicate a problem with the communications link or driver. This problem may also occur when PostScript files are transferred from one computer platform to another. Try using an 'ASCII' or 'Text only' format instead of a binary format when saving. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/25/2003 11:24:40 AM >>> thanks, I was thinking the same, but I use only postscript fonts... there is something fishy about this file however. it may be corrupt.

Fairly easily isolated by temporarily restricting the font usage to just the one, say Arial. We tend to get a few corrupt fonts on our system which need to be reinstalled from time to time. That said, no doubt one of the PostScript experts will be able to isolate/define the problem with a little more certainty.
