Thanks for the reply, Frank. However, it didn't work. I tried it on my Mac, and when I opened the PDF file I created (rather than direct to the printer) I got an error message--wrong operand or some such thing. When I tried actually printing, the printer light flashed once as it usually does before printing, but nothing else happened. (At least RR didn't crash as is also usual after printing--I think since I used the clone function--I'm using RR2.1.2) Perhaps my choice of the rect after the 'into' is off the page. I used the printmargin numbers (see script portion below). Dave
