Hello!<br>
<br>
I think that's what happened here, too. I've started working on a "new"<br>
document and noticed that some texts don't fit into the defined text boxes.<br>
By "new" I mean that I'll always start with the latest issue of that<br>
magazine and change the texts etc.<br>
<br>
For the latest issue I used 1.5.7, now I'm using 1.5.8. After reading your<br>
posting I will try to go back to 1.5.7 and see if everything is fine again,<br>
just to exclude used libs (used font didn't change).<br>
If it's simply a matter of running 1.5.7 or 1.5.8 I'll try to narrow the<br>
problem down.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Andreas<br>
<br>
