Thanks, Harold. I actually considered doing something similar as a workaround, but this is an existing document with formating, formulas, and different text sizes. So it cannot be simple transfered so easily to such a setup! The workaround that I found was to export to PDF, then use Abode Reader to print 2-up to a PDF printer. There are technical disadvantages to this approach, however. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
