I've worked with PageMaker, and for me allowing a graphic to be distored when resized is a Good Thing as it gives the designer more freedom. PM can still maintain aspect ratios by holding down shift (IIRC) while resizing. Also, you could insert a graphic directly (sans frame), and PM will maintain the aspect ratio. BTW, most of the graphics design world uses PM (or Quark Xpress), not Ventura Publisher, AFAIK. -- JM Ibanez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Asia and the Pacific
