Is this a major problem, since Publisher is not (unless the 4 years-old known bug has been fixed) compatible with a multi-user NT system anyway? ;-)
Publisher, for some reason, is well liked by teachers. At least when it dosn't manage to dosn't manage to eat students' work. The issue is one of a) an OS program which will enable similar things to be done. Kword looks quite promising in this respect. b) the ability to import .PUB files. Export is less of an issue because of the huge size these files can reach. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763
