    3. Don, You are quite right. The rtf file created by the print-to-file option does not appear to support the transfer of pictures. A much more satisfactory way of creating reports-to-go (to send and attach to emails etc.) is to produce a pdf file. PAF does not directly support this - but works fine if you install one of the many free pdf converter software packages that are around (just type "free pdf" into a search engine) - these essentially create a dummy PDF printer, which when selected to print-to, creates a pdf file. Such PDF files do successfully transfer all the pictures in the PAF report. PDF files are much more universally acceptable than rtf files and only requires the recipient to have the universally free Acrobat reader software installed. Hope this helps.

My old computer was a HP8655C using Win 98 and a HP882C printer, everything worked fine. Now I have a Dell 4700C using Win XP and a Lexmark X6170 printer. When I send the print to a file, the photos are dropped. I do have the photo option checked. If I go straight to printer, they are printed okay. Any suggestions?
