Mike, I left Propage a couple of years ago. But I think I will revisit it to see if it will allow me to handle large graphic files. PgS will not. I have modified my PgS prologue file to place four registration marks on the page, rather than the usual two. If I can make both programs output their registration marks at precisely the same place on the page (and I don't see why I can't) I can use them in tandem to accomplish both graphic handling and type 1 font handling. As a matter of fact, apropos of our other discussion re EPS files. Maybe I can use one program as the host for the other's PostScript output. My choice would be to write the PgS PostScript code to a file, then encapsulate it and let it serve as an addendum to the Pro Page prolog. Whew! what a rube Goldberg that will be! Sure hope that either ProPage gets type 1 capability or that PgS gets external file handling ability! Rich
