Hi again.
Thanks for the info. I did come across this article whilst reading up on why
Publisher cant handle transparency printing very well. I do have Corel Draw
installed but am a *very* novice user when it comes to using it, so I think I
will just not have to bother with this 'feature'.
Keep well and best regards
