No, it does not do it when printing to PostScript. Thank goodness. But we
print customer proofs out to non-PostScript photo inkjet printers for high
quality color representation and the letters are noticeably cut-off,
especially when your printing large letters in a font like Cooper Black
(which is real bold and rounded and gets its letters trimmed very easily).
Its hard for us to show a sample like this to a customer when they are
paying for it. Just not acceptable.

Your right Steve, you can use the Arrange palette. A lot easier than going
up to the menu every time. I forgot about the Arrange palette, sorry. Dummy
me. I actually put a shortcut for centering vertically by adding it to the
Commands Palette from the AppleScript menu during testing. But I still can't
wait for the fix. Man, I feel stupid. The arrange was there the whole time
waiting for me to use it. It must of been hiding, or else I had a brain
cramp. : )

No, I did not. Now I wish I would of. Just didn't have the time, but I guess
that's what I'm doing now : )
