Could you tell me what document and or word proceeing type software for MS-dos (ibm) type computers can accept *.dwg ,hp-gl files and or *.dxf files to be included in reports, even if a translator program is needed . I believe aldus Pagemaker,lotus Manuscript are two but can Wordperfect 5.0 or Microsoft Word 4.0 interface? Thank-you

Robert, Microsoft Word claims to be able to include a "print file" in a document. For AutoCAD, this would mean a PRPLOT to a file, with AutoCAD configured for whichever printer you would be using with Word. I will try this and report on my success or lack thereof. I thought that Word Perfect also had this capability, but a quick perusal of the manual yielded no info on this. =SM=
