(filesize went down from 159K to 130K!) and good news: i heard from Paul Reuvers of XAT: "Impression-X is still on the cards. Perhaps we should have a function 'delete unused colours'. At present, as you say, the only way is to delete them one by one. "The same is true for the internal table with font names. ... I hope to be able to have a 'delete unused fonts' function some day." the other principal added feature in Publisher+ over Publisher, he reminds me, is spot colours. -- >>> no need to reply my entire message back to me ;=] Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk Abbey Press 32 Norbins Rd (01458) 83 3603 Glastonbury BA6 9JG pocket 0797 415 3861 ------------------------------------------------------------ To change, suspend or cancel your subscription go to //www.freelists.org/list/artworks ------------------------------------------------------------
