It's not perfect but It gets you 90% there.. n Frank Frank Taylor - Information Technology Administrator F.J. O'Hara & Sons, Inc - Araho Transfer Inc.

When you click on a paragraph it gets outlined like an object, you can edit the text inside the paragraph and re size it just like a picture.. We are trying to get this book republished and the new publisher wants it in a regular Word file. Thanks for any help, sorry to ask Marc _______________________________________________________________________ This Email has been scanned for all viruses by PAETEC Email Scanning Services, utilizing MessageLabs proprietary SkyScan infrastructure.
