Anyone know how to do this? I tried the invisible rectangle thing but it does not seem to work, it just ignores it. Thanks B

If you want to add something in Photoshop, InDesign or whatever (you are not clear about this, make sure to ask a question which gives you an answer) maybe try to make a 320x480 pixels rectangle filled with white and place it under your fantastic image. And yes I was and I am sooooo very happy Illustrator saves the image and not the doc. Remember: Illustrator is about drawing things, not making documents.

It should output to the size you specified with your crop marks. In CS2 the crop marks are in the "Object" menu. Those are the only 2 versions I'm familiar with. -- Jim (aka LawnElf) "I finally got in touch with my feminine side ....she's suing me for sexual harassment"

That should be "Filter", not Object. Besides that: Mr. B should make a new document, a bit larger than 320x480 to make room for the crop marks.
