Hi Jacqueline,

Thanks!  Your info was very valuable.  Here is a point made in the 
dictionary.

The print command prints only the area of a card that is visible in the 
stack window. To print an area of a card whose objects extend beyond 
the window boundaries, either set the stack's rectangle so it's large 
enough to hold all the objects to print, or use the print...from form 
of the print command.

I am interested in printing referenced controls without seeing them 
displayed and also
positioning them where I want.  From the above statement I need to use 
the print...from form
of the print command.

Do you have any info on this or can you direct me to the best area to 
read about it.
