I have another print customer whose own customers present stuff laid out 
in MS-Excel.

They also dread getting stuff in MS-Publisher, because it never quite 
seems to turn out exactly the way it did on the user's system. A 
difference in printing area of a skillionth of a whillometer would see 
a word flow out of a frame and cascade through the entire document - 
which meant, if you weren't proofing with a hawk eye, a wasted print 
run.

Cheers; Leon
