Hi, Rick:

I seem to remember .ps examples, too. I think one was for transitions 
that would happen in PDFs. I also seem to remember a sample, either .ps 
or MIF, that made a pie chart.

Have you tried creating what you need in a FrameMaker file, then 
printing to .ps and also to MIF to see how it's exported?

Since FrameMaker table cells only rotate in 90° increments, solutions 
are probably something like:

* an angled text line or text frame in an anchored frame in a cell

* carefully sized imported graphic or graphics in single or straddled 
heading/footing cells
