Bob,
BD>I'm not sure what you can lock that will be unaffected by the client's
BD>printer. My suggestion is that you format the document in such a way that 
it
BD>will work on all major printers.  The primary issue will be to make sure 
the
BD>pagination is the same.  The only way to do this is to insert manual page
BD>breaks for every page and limit the material on each page to be slightly 
less
BD>than a page full. This will allow room on each page for variations due to
BD>printer.  You should also make your tables such that they do not take the
BD>full page width.
I hadn't thought of doing manual page breaks, but I'll give it a try!
BD>I would assume, since you mentioned 2000dpi tiffs that they are
BD>sophisticated. 
BD>It requires quite a printer to be able to print 2000 dpi graphics.  In 
fact,
BD>I'm surprised you are working in Word, if that's the quality of graphics 
you
BD>need to convey.
As I said, printing isn't really the issue - I can go to the local Kinko's 
and 
get full color printouts (at a heck of a price!) But again, there are few 
printers that are going to give the detail and resolution that a monitor (and 
decent video card) will give, that's why I'd like to be able to send it to 
them.
I wasn't aware that Word had a graphics limitation - does it?  If so, what is 
it?
