Hello everyone, I have some document preparation questions that I have been struggling with in setting up a publication workflow. 1. How can I ensure that my notebooks look the way I intended when viewed by recipients? This really concerns fonts. I thought that Mathematica embeds fonts so that sharing notebooks or CDFs would be like sharing PDFs, which look the way you created them. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the case. The fonts that are displayed depend on the fonts installed on the remote or recipient's computer. I've created Mathematica notebooks at home with fonts like Palatino Linotype, which end up as Helvetica when presented at seminars. The Options Inspector has an option called "Embed External Fonts." It is set to true, but I'm not really sure what it does. I must be missing something. 2. How can I create a title style cell that prints half way down the title page? I've created a style with a big top cell margin. The title does appear mid way down the page in the working environment, but it appears near the top of the page when printed. 3. How can I prevent the second line of a long string, say, a few sentences, from being right indented when the text wraps in an element of a grid? Any tips would be much appreciated, Gregory
