Try this link for more information: http://members.xoom.com/ebhkp/dtpeng.htm The diagrams may look like a mess after inserting them to MSWord (try zoom) but the printout is always good! If you use MSWord97 you may have a problem with TTFs that are not Symbol Fonts. Chess Alpha is a Symbol Font and has always worked fine for me :-) I have heard of the program CHESSTOP that should be freeware, but I am not sure if it's released yet. Try a question on rgcc and maybe the author will answer - I think he reads messages there :-) Robert Ericsson
