I'm not sure the file was ever posted in a library. If so, it'd be in the FH library. The color was not in any lines or fills (you can't have a fill of a line). I did finally get rid of the color. In the Colors dialogue box, I…

Hi Richard, Thanks for the welcome. I think this program will help us out alot at our studio. We design many recipe brochures for Campbell's Soup. This, of course, involves alot of copy, which is sometimes hard to design around. Hopefully, PageMaker will make this much easier for us. Patti

the WP5.0 filter is available FREE (except for the time it takes to download), right here in one of the LIB areas (not sure which one offhand). Look around for WP5FLT.ARC or WP5FLT.ZIP as the filename.

I don't think there's any intention of generating a WP5.1 filter… everyone is expected to use the current 5.0 filter, which supports everything but the new tables, equations, and such.
