Maria- feedback required please! What was wrong? How did you fix it? (so that the answer can be of benefit to others in the future with the same problem...)

Sorry- no answer here, I'm interested in the reasons too! In Acdsee 4.0, all eps files show as thumbnails, and can be looked at, but ai files can't be seen either.

"Mastering Layout" a great book by (the late) Mike Stevens...as good design must come first! A subscription to "Signcraft" magazine. Honestly, I'd suggest designing your own sign, but getting a signie to actually do it first- that'll save some possible heartache! You may be able to watch or...

All above are correct. Plus it's am matter of practise. Basically, if you want to extract the item, I assume you mean you want to have the item alone. You simply need to select it, and then select the inverse & delete that. However there are 100s of ways to do selections, and that's where...

Hi I fixed the same problem myself last night after wondering for months... but ours is a PNC1000A. I usually plot from another program, not Corel, but everytime I tried Corel & XP, it plotted 90 degrees different from the preview window. (I have NOT loaded XP serv.Pak2 btw.) Solution- when...

where did you find the info you needed, and what did it say? I'm asking for the benefit of another possible newbie who might type the same question here in six month's time, and do a search. Thanks! (P.S. There are lots of people here who could have answered that question though, but you...

Hi dave, I installed "The font thing" a long time ago and like it. I also sometimes have a font appear to be 'not there'. The font thing will catalogue all fonts on your computer- the installed ones, and the others that you can keep in a spare folder or folders somewhere else on your hard...

"The Font Thing" which was a free download I think from Letterheadfonts. It's good! Also Bitstream's FontNav which comes with Corel but needs to be installed speciifically.

Hi Rapid, sounds like a good name for a cartoonist! Welcome! PS nice design for your pic & good business name. (note to self- I must get rid of this ugly photo of me & put something arty there instead...!)

THANK YOU Fred ! (awful font imho, but I appreciate you identifying it!)

Has anyone seen this one before, with a legitimate name?! It's vaguely Benguit, vaguely Bodoni, vaguely Stone Serif, but not any of them. Thanks! The crossbar in the centre of the G is rather low, and I have no idea where the shadow in the top right of the first S went to, nor the serif...

Spot-on!

Jen, yes, just switching it off & unplugging it is a good safeguard! Win XP will transfer files at USB2 speed, but W98se will only let the data transfer at USB1 speed which is sssllllooowww, but still worth having! I've had no problems with ghost at all in 5 or 6 years of using it. Once you...

bought lots, laser printers, toner, screen-printing carousel, computer parts- no problems except in buying twice from some amateur sellers who refused to sell after I'd won the item, then posted negative feedback on me- wierd- as I did nothing wrong. Don't be afraid to use the 'ask seller a...

I have a friend who has a PC 12 and said it's only worth using for printing white and metallics. Otherwise it's a waste. (He did recently buy a Versacamm though...) (but I wouldn't mind owning either one)

Oops, double post (see below...) sorry!

here's an attempt... dpi is what you get from inkjet printers when you print a picture on paper of some kind. 300 dpi is pretty fuzzy for a photo, 600 is OK depending on the original of course. It refers to how fine the print head nozzles are I think. ppi is pixels per inch which is the...

ACDsee will preview eps & wmf files, but not ai or cdr.

Interesting, Fred. I've played with GIMP 2 for windows a little, and don't mind it at all. There are some very nice preset gradients with it. (You can't beat photoshop though, except maybe in the pricing!)

Great responses & thanks for the 'history' lesson from the not-so-long-ago past.
