Well I'm sorry if that reply sounded condascending, it certainly was not intended although on reading it back I can understand. I was trying to ( quickly ) answer your question without knowing the extent of your knowledge/experience of P/Shop. I simply wanted to reasure you that it wasn't too...

It took me around 20 seconds to do this in P/Shop:- Make selection of your word. Isolate the letter you want to change. Go to SELECT/MODIFY/CONTRACT. Enter the number of pixels depending upon the size of the lettering and the thickness of the colour you want to apply. Invert the selection. Add a...

If you don't have CS2 with the reduce noise' filter, try this: Convert the image to Lab Colour - IMAGE>MODE>LAB COLOUR. You will now have 3 channels, LIGHTNES, A and B. Select channel A and give it a gausian blur of 4 pixels. It will look well blurred but don't worry. Do the same with channel B...

You need to allow for "dot Gain" when assesing how your finished print will look. This issue takes some getting to grips with and is not something that can be explained thoroughly in a forum answer. Do a search in Google. Here's one link which will help explain what your printer is saying;-...

Try the SHADOW/HIGHLIGHT controls. Go to - IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS and choose Shadow/Highlight. The default setting is pretty good, but play around with the controls ( on duplicated image ). Pushing up the "Midtone Contrast" slider works wonders ( for me ) on greyscale pictures.

Sorry - late in replying. In the Table Inspector palette set the 'width' box and the 'height' box both to 'percent' rather than pixels or auto. Type 100 in each box.

Don't knoe why this is happening but try this. Select all the elements on your page. Go to 'Export' and check the option "export selected areas only".
