I'm going to fool around with this. Maybe I can find out exactly what is happening. It really would be nice if the wizards work. I can't imagine that anyone would want to use them if the results look this bad!!! Charlie -- The problem is that when converting to HTML there are a TON of issues with font conversions and all that. It's not an easy thing to do, and even more fun is that while HTML is supposed to be standardized, each browser has its own interpretation of HTML, and sometimes the differences can really make things tough. Add to it that if you use a specific font, unless your client has the exact same font on their machine, the report won't look right. This is not an easy thing to do, and at a certain point there is no way code can handle human decisions on "what looks good". I'm just saying this to get it out there. This may sound like it should just work, but it's not as simple as that.
