Philip, Thanks. ProPage had the ability to easily handle graphics and color seps very early in its existence. I really thought it would become a 'mainstream' application and I was very appreciative of the fact that it did allow this machine some entry into the graphics arts world. We are a commercial printer and service bureau and MUST have type 1 font compatibility. It must be straight forward and painless. IMHO ProPage has taken a direction away from compatibility which has severely hurt it. I think that it is otherwise an excellent program. I switched from ProPage to Pagestream as soon as Pagestream became stable ( think that was v1.8). Pagestream is the only program on this machine that allows us to operate in this industry. I hope that Gold Disk recognizes the need for full compatibility with the Adobe standard. I am well aware of the history of Gold Disk's rebuf by Adobe's development department, but that was a long time ago. Rich
