- I haven't tried it, but it sure looks like it. Page setup includes 6/8
- lines per inch, and pica/elite/condensed pitches, and the page you
- work on changes sizes to match as you toggle them. Obviously, if the
- printer won't do that, you're going to lose. And if the printer
- requires you to set that up, and you do it wrong, ditto.

- Well, I was going to suggest you try that. If you want to send me a a
- small sample and requested format, I'd be willing to give it a try.
- Throw in an SASE, and I'll mail the results to you. [NOTE: This offer
- is really only good for Todd Lewis]. However, you need to do things
- quickly - I'm going to be out of the country from the 27th of November
- to the 23rd of December.
