Lissa,
It likely in this case is a limitation of the embosser. We have an Express
(100? 150?) here, which doesn't do high resolution graphics. None of the ET
models support low resolution graphics. ET has supported high resolution
for years, but your embosser, like ours, is probably presumed by DBT to be
too old for the high resolution mode.
Even so, you should be able to use DBT's page numbering. That issue is
essentially independent of the other issue. The only limitation that you're
supposed to encounter is that the graphic image and a text line (for the
page number) must both fit on the page, so you may need to make the image a
bit smaller.

Hi Peter,
Thank you. I'm guessing it's the limitation of the embosser. But, that means
we won't be able to use DBT's page numbering, we'll have to put the page
number in by hand. (Not a big deal when you're already working in Quick Tak
anyway.)
