We hit somewhat a similarproblem about a month ago on a submission. It seems to be endemic to the system! Mary At 10:22 AM 12/15/99 -0500, Anne Womack sent a message saying: *If we ever crack this nut, (or if somebody on the 'serv helps us out), *we will certainly share! We had that number problem too a month *or so back, where one number went over another one, something I *didn't think a computer could do (only old Royal typewriters). * All in all, this is such fun, isn't it? : ) * Thanks for getting back to me. Anne * * *Anne, * *I can't offer any hints, but I can sympathize with you in your problem. *We had just prepared a proposal where the Budget Notes and Facilities *section did something similar to what you mentioned. However, it was *mainly affecting the numbers in these sections. If there was a five *digit number in the section, the numerals would all print on top of one *another as if compressing them into a smaller space. Of course, this *was only happening when printing the entire proposal rather than just *the page or section. I would be anxious to hear a solution to this *problem! * ********************************************************** *Deanne L.
