# i used to be able to play the theme tune on the bassoon
not having a bassoon any more, it would be a bit difficult now

# Likewise
Only the clarinet and the sax were actually mine, and I can still vaguely play those...

# In a strange twist of life
I have never played the bassoon at all, but I am now equally capable of playing one this minute as you both are.

# TJ: Quark Skillzors Needed
First of all, sorry for the threadjack, (gotta love Ivor), second I need a bit of help on Quark.

I wanted to put a kind of shadow on some text, so I duped the copy, offset it, and made it black underneath so just a little bit was showing around the right hand side and bottom. Voila a basic shadow.

However, when it printed, the black came through the red of the top copy, so it looked like a red shadow was top and left.

Any ideas how I can combat this?

# Use Indesign instead

# Good point
Unfortunately, the mags are all set in Quark. Switching to Indesign would involve resetting 64 pages before going to the printers at close. :(

Fuck it, I'll just do it in potato shop and tiff it.

# i used to know this
hang on, isn't there a 'drop shadow' function?

# Not in 6.5

# Drop shadow only came in in 7
but you could try this on a free trial.

# Quark answer probably late:
I think it's either your trapping settings or you might have the black in registration instead of 100% black, you'd have to play around with the trapping in preferences.

Hope that helps
