Ken: I don't use typically Distiller, but I tried this using PDFWriter, which is bundled with Distiller. After loading my Jade-generated 8.5x13.13in RTF file into Word, I selected PDFWriter as the output device, set up a custom page size of 8.5x13.13in for the device, produced the PDF file and ended up with a 8.5x13.14 page loaded into Exchange. You might try using that instead. Jack Fitzpatrick ADP ----- Original Message ----- From: G.
