Hi Ron: I realized a couple days ago that I had forgotten to contact TreeDraw, so I winged off an e-mail to them. They were VERY quick in getting back to me. They sent me an updated PDF driver and I now am able to see the dotted boxes when "exporting to PDF". My HP LaserJet 1012 still doesn't recognize them on it's own, but by exporting to PDF first, I am able to print off a chart with the dotted boxes.

Hi Ron! Thanks for your reply. I tried this (and although it looks good on the screen), but it still prints out as a solid box when I print. I'll send a message to the folks at TreeDraw and post back here when they reply. Thanks!

Rob, This is rather weird! Go to Format>Line style (before selecting the box if you wish to do several) and select the dashed line. This is the weird bit - it only seems to work if the thickness of the line is set to 1; higher than that and a solid line is drawn. C'est la vie!
