Thanks, Steve. While I don't understand why we had no problem and then we did, with the original settings, when I changed the maximum number of characters per line to 40 within Duxbury, everything worked perfectly. I tried changing the setting on the embosser, but it wouldn't accept a right margin of 45. This list is definitely one of the pluses of working with Duxbury.
