Al, Talking about Cellquest 3.xx. you don't need to make screen shots of your graphs, you can just copy-paste them in any PICT format accepting program (Canvas, Claris Draw etc), the only thing you have to do, is put the plots to the right size in Cellquest first. You only loose resolution if you start changing the size of your plots in the drawing program (the plots are copied as bitmaps). I agree (and have told this already several times to BDIS) however, that it's ridiculus that they don't export the textparts in editable format (so you can just change the labels etc in the drawing program), also if you ungroup the plot in Canvas you get several layers of dots... which is very bizarre. But you don't need to make screenshots, as they don't give you any higher resolution either (72 dpi max and you can't change the size afterwards either). Hope that clarifies things a bit.
