Can it depends on some resolutions setting? Or what? > hi andrea, zoom to a level of 6400% and you can give the answer yourself. this is just the way acrobat's rip is interpreting your separator gfx. you can try to remove the horizontal border lines (also too fine for printing). additionaly you can use (slightly) alternating background colors per line to emphasize the horizontal borders (like in exxel). btw: very nice location (only sunlight is missing); please drop a note when the final pdf is released :) best wishes, peter ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
