However, it isn't that it takes forever to print... it doesn't even spool. Nothing happens. The frustrating thing is the graphics aren't even very large. I ended up doing the project on MS Word in the end with no problems, but I'd like to find out why it wouldn't work with Appleworks. It worked fine with Word 98 which was in Classic, so maybe it's an OS X thing? My Appleworks is in OS X. David Crump
