I'll try to oblige in future but the only graphics application I have is Paint 
which is pretty basic so I am somewhat constrained in what I can do. Also, I've 
only started to use graphics since joining this forum so I'm a long way from 
being proficient. You may have noticed that anything not horizontal or vertical 
is pretty rough. That's because Paint doesn't permit rotation of objects except 
in integer multiples of 90 deg -- very frustrating!
I'm amazed however that you print these drawings! This is the 'save the trees' 
era Jack! You're not doing your bit! I suspect that if I use black cartoons 
filled with the context appropriate colour your problem may be alleviated. What 
say you?

Dear Allen,
One of the curses from the emergence of computers and DTP software was the 
dumbing down of typography. Where once people used professionals for their 
graphic design work, DTP allowed the office secretary to do it instead. I'll 
give you a few examples. There is no need whatsoever to use underlining - this 
is a left-over from ordinary typewriters in which you only had two way to 
emphasise something; capitals or underlining. Today you can use italics, bold, 
CAPITALS, larger sizes and any combination of them all without changing the 
typeface. 
 
May I suggest, to all, that for the purposes of technical illustrations and 
diagrams use a non-serif type font. Choose colours carefully so they can be 
clearly seen when printed on paper - people will insist in using yellow on 
white! This is a particular problem with Paul's e-mails with his choice of pale 
colours for his responses and small typeface. The type size however may be 
dictated by the way in which individual's e-mails work.
 
I hope you didn't mind me saying this but it would make things much clearer.
 
Jack :-]

Dear Allen, When I printed out your drawing the type seems to be white with a
