I have a problem question which may or may not belong in this thread. I'm currently finishing a manuscript of about 110,000 words using ProWrite. I will soon have to print it out nicely, and would like it ]to look spiffy. There are no pictures in it, just text; still, I'd like the output to look as professional as possible. My setup is fairly basic: a stock 2000 with a GVP 105 meg HD on a card containing 2 megs RAM (for a total of 3 megs). My printer is a NEC Pinwriter P6. Here's the question I have: I have access to a couple of laser printers (A local firm rents 'em). What would the simplest way be for me to get professional-looking results? Is it worth getting a DTP package like PS or PP to set it up? I do like th look of the PostScript fonts like Garamond, but for a print job like this without graphics,would it be worth it to get involved with PostScript? To summarize the question: what is the simplest and most idiot proof method to print out a documents like I've described? I hear stories of Postscript pages taking minutes per page; at a manuscript length of 400 pages I obviously couldn't spend that much time. Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks Lee
