I'm sure you are right, a "reasonable job" for many values of
rationality as long as people keep away from MS Word for things like
this. Nice pic btw...
"geek BS" indeed! I exclaim in great respect because I know you are
armed. <g>
Truth is though that making web pages of pictures is a far better way
to go because of the great flexibilty the author has and, more
importantly, the viewer. The pictures, if they are of sufficient size
and quality can be dimensioned either in percentages or in character
size units or other units now and this affords fabulous distribution.
PDFs come more into their own for printing.
