Hello Deron, Well, the small project I started (a 2 page A4 newsletter with text The main problems are: 1. Some of the substituted fonts will not print (HP LaserJet 1200) or 2. 'Placet Graphic' does not work. These are mainly photographs. Also After this I had to give up! A few minor niggles. I miss the keyboard shortcuts for 'full page' and 'full width' and Cheerio, Terence Casey. G4 PPC Mac running OS X 10.4.11. -----------------------------------------------------------------

The problem is associated with Show Full Width. Avoid that in this version! Until the next release (just a few days) you can delete the trashed line Deron
