Basic bold, italics, tabs and bullets For absolute safety, stick with the basic Postscript 1.0 fonts: Times, Helvetica, Symbol. These fonts are either present or have close analogs on any system that can read a word file; but even those can be problematic, since Times New Roman is slightly different from Times, and while Arial is closer, it's still not exactly Helvetica. For 95% of your correspondence it's just fine, but when neatly formatted tables start unformatting themselves, it can be a PITA to fix. One table is nothing, but when 135 tables and 75 figures in a doctoral dissertation get screwed up, it can be a significant problem. Moreover, if you're at all involved in publishing, this stuff can be more than catastrophic. I was involved with the production of a RPG book that was heavy on equations, produced in Word's Equation Editor. Sadly, the authors had used programming notation for multiplication (*) instead of the standard mathematical notation (x). The printer's rasterizing software decided to replicate every asterisk * with this: | . Division signs were equally messed up. Every long bar with a bunch of equations above it and a bunch below got turned into '/', which, unlike the multiplication snafu, was at least correct, if much harder to read. The manuscript was sent to the printer as a Word doc. This rendered the book pretty much useless, and due to artificially imposed constraints on the production, only the publisher (who was a know-nothing idiot, fraud and thief) ever looked at the galleys. Since he was mathematically illiterate, it went to press that way. Eventually the authors took to sending the original manuscript, converted to a PDF as the 'errata' for the book. So, in my opinion anything fancier than plain text is precisely what Postscript, TeX and/or PDF as made for. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Open Office vs. NeoOffice
Hello OpenOffice.org lovers! While OpenOffice.org 3.0+ is now running native on Mac OS X (finally using Aqua instead of X11) it will definitely leave PPC behind. This is because Apple itself is leaving PPC behind. That is just the way things go. In the Windows world it is the same with Microsoft leaving DOS-based Windows versions behind (Windows 95-Me). I had a few friends complaining that nowerdays not one newer program is running on their Windows 98SE - the best Windows as one of them always claimed. OpenOffice is still being compiled for PowerPC. Shouldn't be a problem for any developer to build such a package for PPC users, even if Sun (or Oracle?) ever decided not to release an official PPC build. (One of the greated advantages of open source!!!) But _here_ is where the leaving behind starts: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport Such a great feature - being able to import a PDF into OpenOffice Draw and changing a typo or modifying a sentence or a picture or whatever. It's closed source, so there won't be a PPC port for that. Sun released it for x86 only. Sorry, G3/G4/G5 users. We are definitely being left behind...
