Thank you. I think it was just a formatting problem due to A4/8=BDx10 discrepancies. To be sure, I will send you by email a copy of the electronic files in RTF format (this just has then to be cut and pasted under Win/Write, then saved as a *text* file and then read by WinWord6 as an RTF file, which is just an plain-ASCII file that Word recognizes). Easy, isn't it, computers are formidable tools )-: (-: But... the eletronic file of the AM1 itself has 3 characters that show a GREEK UPPER CASE GAMMA SANS SERIF instead of the decimal delimiter symbol. I had to make a diagonal by hand and fill it to give a pure black rectangle triangle with the apex down-pointing and with the right angle on the left-hand-side to reflect the *exact* symbol we are talking about. When receiving this file and printing it, refer to the hard copy you already have to see where to correct. I will correct my file to 8=BDx10 instead of A4 before sending so that you won't have the problems I had printing here and which we had in Japan also because Microsoft told us it is not sufficient to say it is in A4, other things have to be done to the printer (according to Asmus Freytag), but documentation does not say so because normally A4 is used in A4 countries and 8=BDx10 is used in USA and Canada which are not supposed to use A4!!!! They don't say either that a Word file generated with a national version will have a problem with a national version of another country!!! Regards. Alain LaBont=E9
