It is not that we _want_ to enforce this, but rather that the latex installations I know about really have a problem with that. It would be nice if someone with a decent latex installation could investigate the problem a bit (by removing the error box first, I guess). I seem to remember that the part that gives us problem is when using a temporary directory, since we have then to tell latex where to search for files, with something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]/some path with space} and we did not find a reasonable way to escape spaces in there. Also, if you use a subdirectory with spaces in it (putting your figures into a "My Figures" subdirectory for example), I am not sure I know how to get it to work. Of course, this has to be tested on a windows machine, and I do not have such a thing here. JMarc
