Thanks for the reply.  Yes, that's the keyword we finally stumbled upon.

Ed,

I think the DDS keyword you are looking for is POSITION.

There's a sampler library available on IBM's site that helps demonstrate
some of the capabilities of AFP. I think you can find it here:

Happy hunting! (Finding fonts is a real task....)

Subject: AFP printing question


We are just getting into using overlays, fonts, etc. and I was wondering how
people are handling getting the data portion of their reports to print where
they need it to.  It seems to me that there is or should be a way to print
to absolute print positions using standard units of measure such as inches
or points.  Also, are there any good references for this kind of printing?
Any help is appreciated.
