Eric,

Open the Pen tool dialog (F12). Select a line style with dashes/dots. You
may want to make it a bit thicker than 'hairline' also.

Cliff's way will get you a double line of dots. I know you don't want to, but
you can draw the letters and get a single line. In either case, you have to make
the letters very large. See attached sample. The typed name is Abadi MT
Condensed at 200.

Hi Ruth,

Attachments are not being posted from Netscape.
I pulled this from Netscape Page Source and post
the text for you.

Sorry...

Hi Bill,

When did this happen (not posting from Netscape)? I thought I was having more
problems on my end. Did the Refresh bit and nothing happened. This has not been my
week but thanks for helping me out, again.

Ruth,

Send an e-mail note to Corel Canada.
Let them know you are not happy with this.

So perhaps Netscape is not the Industry
Standard, but neither is the Corel DRAW
Suite ;-)

It's the truth, though.
I do not know the exact figures, but Adobe has
somewhere around 87% of the Graphics Software
Industry $$.
