Greg, OK, I swap one horror story and run before the thread police jump on us for getting off subject. Phil and I were up to Chapter 6 when the word came down that we would have to redo nearly all of the figures for those chapters. Seems the production people could not figure out what to do with a figure that was not exactly 800×600 rez. We asked what the problem was and they said that their staff couldn't maintain the proper aspect ration when the images were scaled in Pagemaker. I said simple, "just hold down the shift key while dragging the corner handle." No Go. Soooo… We ended up pasting all of the figures onto a blank 800×600, white background and then manually drawing in crop marks! Jeeze. Don't you just love high technology <G>! Steven
