Apart from shadows, I find that most graphical objects transfer well from my Mac (with virtual windows) to ArtWorks. But text is indeed split into individual characters and has odd spaces inserted all over. It takes a very long time to merge all the fragments together into sentences and paragraphs. However if the vector image can be transferred from ArtWorks into Draw format, then Rosemary Miskins' TidyDraw makes a good job of putting the majority of the letters back into words; but there is still some manual editing needed. -- Tim Powys-Lybbe tim@xxxxxxxxx for a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------ To change, suspend or cancel your subscription go to //www.freelists.org/list/artworks ------------------------------------------------------------
