Hi Betty, Another question about uplaoding. Scans are really expensive when you add up the number of pages in my kids' book and they Gif files don't look very good… SO I'm wondering if there's a way I can create files directly from ProPage (where it is laid out) which can be compressed then printed out by those who download?? However the postscript file is over 5 mg!! Way too big even compressed. Is there a way to output from Propage to an IFF or other picture file (that AdPro could translate) Thanks for any help or references

Thomas, I'm sorry, but I don't know that much about what ProPage can output. I know that you can use screen-savers that save any screen to IFF format, but that may not do what you want. I'm sorry I can't help with this one. —Betty

I don't know if this idea will help but… Save each individual page as a ProPage document to be printed on a non-Postscript printer (such as a Laserjet or Bubblejet). then use Lharc Pkzip to compress your files. The person who downloads your file can then unarch the files and import them into ProPage or PageStream 3.0d. Good Luck! !Que Viva la Amiga! Digital Universe at the touch of our fingertips
