That requires composing the picture in reversed form. PS printers /may/ have a 'mirror' option. I've just checked on my XP system - all 3 PS printer drivers offer this (so it's also available to a PDF printer such as Bullzip's, not that that will help the OP). Don't see why Mac's shouldn't offer this as well. -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
