- I realize you use DTP programmes to do the high-res printing, but there might
- be one that allows you to do it with minimal headache: PageStream: you can
- import text directly from excellence! using PageStream's import feature,
- although you have to convert footnotes to endnotes first if you want to keep
- them.
-
- That does not work too well if you use a million fonts, but a well-laid out
- document should not have too many anyways...
-
- If you come about a way to print from excellence! 3.0 directly to your DeskJet,
- please let me know. One idea I had, which I haven't tried yet is to create a
- monster page in excellence, say, four times the regular size, and have it
- printed onto a normal 8.5" x 11" page. But I don't know how the Amiga would
- shrink the page size to fit...
