Earlier in the year, Markzware released FlightCheck Classic v4.0 for the Macintosh, which offers added support for Microsoft Word files and greater depth and flexibility in its Ground Control preflight settings. The application can now process Version 4-9 (Office 2001) Word files from both the Mac and PC/Windows platforms. Its four new Ground Controls provide the capability to report on the use of application-generated clipping paths, ICC profiles, PostScript color management and ink density values.
