Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?
Don't forget Mr. Adobe buying his Postscript away from Xerox for..what 1K
because Xerox wanted to develop the blob thing instead of PS. "Matt Beals" wrote in message ... | Actually it was through a poorly written contract on Apples part that | Microsoft was able to further develop the GUI.
