Oh, in that case, maybe you could pull the file into Xy for
the print-out stage?
I should have been more exact--what
I meant by fully scaleable typesetting is the ability to set both the
pitch and the width of the type. Some years ago now, a publisher
asked me for camera-ready copy, sent me his standard specs., & Xy
allowed me to produce a page every bit as good as his because of
the fully scaleable typesetting. The command is still available in
NB, but it doesn't work because--I guess--printing now goes through
Windows instead of DOS, and one's stuck with what Windows will do.
So for really professional typesetting and formatting one has to go to a
full publishing program, whereas XY used to do it all.
