Given those drawbacks one may as well go to a free Open source product such as Scribus, Lyx, TeX or Open Office, in that order of preference. If someone will send me a sample MSPublisher file I will see if I can extract the text from it. The formatting and illos are a lost cause I fear. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
