Afterwards the ColumnMaker converts the signs into three colums if I ask him to do so ;-)) But if a sign is to large the convertion failed and the file will be incomplete. The program says : "Column file not completed: sign too wide. Press Return to finish. " ;-((( I always had trouble to know in before how wide a sign is allowed to be . Now I always check it just by copying this sign three times. If all three signs show up in one line Column - Maker will be able to arrange this sign within a column. This saves time since I have not to go back and forth between SW and Column Maker in order to look for this sign and to erase it or to rearange it Stefan ;-) | |||||
