There's a product called AFP PrintSuite that might do some of this. You can see more at <http://www.printers.ibm.com/R5PSC.NSF/Web/AFPPrintsuiteHome>. Claims to allow you to have AFP output without changes to your applicaitons. There ARE APIs that can retrieve the contents of a spooled file and write out to one. I've never done it. Bold is usually done with a second & third spooled file record with 0 advance, containing only the highlighted text. But that was originally for dot-band printers, etc. At 04:27 PM 4/16/02 -0500, you wrote: >If overlays aren't possible, can I manually edit the spool file somehow?
