Hi John
I do not believe that there is an invisible object in the draw file,
because I copied the embedded Draw header from the old Fireworkz doc to
Draw, and selected all. The selection is entirely enclosed in the
drawfile, and prints perfectly from there (but just wont from the
Fireworkz file).
I have been using these files for my business over about 4 years and
they always printed perfectly from my RiscPC (which I had for many many
years).
This brought be to believe that it was a prob with Fireworkz, however I
have re-designed this form using the old header but re-sizing it
slightly, and the new version works perfectly, even though constructed
from the original components!
