Interesting. So to confirm, you now get an error when you try to compile (because you do not have dvipost installed), right ? Can you send me the log file you get when you compile the .tex file? Attached is my export to LaTeX (plain). If you compile it (with just the command "latex") can you see the colors in the resulting dvi? What about when you convert to PDF? I'm actually hoping that when you compile you get an error because of a missing package. Let's see if that happens. Scott
