Hi Rick Thanks. But all I need is a way to convert from postscript to eps. Solid Converter appears to work only on windows (not really clear on the web site). I need something I can use on Linux (which I should have emphasized). KWord (part of KOffice) can open PDF files and save in OpenDocume

Thanks for helping, guys. Joe, you're right that the document is too big for polite posting, though I might be able to create an excerpt that illustrates the problem. I've improved the situation some by making the table four columns wide, with each row containing two of my old rows, and I may ha

Thanks for your response. It works as you stated. I figured it was a lack of concepts as I am new to the way items are implemented on the Mac. Thanks to all who responded and I will try to reach a higher level over the next few days. Thanks, Ricky Joe On Jan 1, 2007, at 7:56 PM, Rich

Hi Barbara: I better understand your problem now. Last things first: Frames can be linked so that text or tables will overflow into the succeeding linked frame(s) as needed. You can create frames that occupy the entire text area on a page or put them side by side to behave like a multi-col

Hi How can I type from left to right, as it is needed for Hebrew or Arabic? I found some explanation about using the CTL-Mode (Complex Text Layout). If CTL is active, one can activate "right-to-left" by clicking on the icon with the arrow pointing to the left. But to my mind, what I get is not co

Thanks for responding, Doug. The break is not consistent from one time to another, and I'm pretty sure there's no pattern for how much extra space it leaves on the page(s) that break prematurely. I haven't been able to pin down any actions that cause the split, but I generally see it after I've
