i have written the most wonderful holidays cookbook, now also on cd.

the main problem is: all the wondrous and superb fonts i used; for example,
the christmas "book" has pictured letters and pictures of the 12 days of
christmas and a wonderful altamont snow font....but no matter what i do,
none of these show up when saved for ANY of the windows word formats.

is there ANYTHING i can do to "translate" my font and pictures, etc. for
windows users? i used appleworks 5 whereupon i was able to 'save' in all
sorts of formats for windows and it STILL doesn't work.

it seems there are so many of you who post to this group....shirley one of
you can help? i'd love to be able to sell my cd (i NEED MONEY DESPERATELY),
and it'd be wonderful to be able to sell it for windows, too, but without
the pictures and wonderful fonts, it's just a plain old cookbook for the
holidays...lots of those around.

thanks, in advance

SKYlark,

For best cross compatibility between platforms, I have always found that the
simplest method was always the best. Have you tried saving your cookbook as
an Adobe PDF?

Usually with a PDF all the fonts are then embedded in the document itself,
so no matter what platform you open it on, your fonts will remain the same.

If your using Mac OS X, this is available directly from the Print dialog by
choosing "Save as PDF". If you're still using Mac OS 9, you will probably
need to get yourself a copy of Adobe Acrobat to accomplish this.

Also with the PDF format, you'll have the options to set security setting
for your file to prevent unauthorized editting of it's contents and layout.

Hope this helps answer your question!

Thanks,
