#136132-Standalone PS?
Message #136256
John, If you have the 7.0 version of the LaserWriter driver, you should be able to change the Destination in the Print dialog to generate a PostScript file that will print to any PS device. (The two Destinations available in the Print Dialog are "Printer" and "PostScript file".) If that's…

#135860-TrueType?
Message #135926
John, You should be able to open your System and simply drag the TrueType fonts out. (It sounds like that's what you've done.) If a font is not installed in the System, and your not using Suitcase, Word cannot access it. If you've removed your TrueType fonts from the System,…

#135591-TrueType?
Message #135690
John, I would suggest removing your TrueType fonts from your System if you are not interested in them. Otherwise, if you have Suitcase, you could put all the TrueType fonts in their own "suitcase" and only open them when (and if) you want to. The MS Word TrueType Printer Init…

#135592-2-up print?
Message #135682
John, Word 4.0 does not have such a printing capability. There is a utility, however, called DynoPage which should allows for the kind of printing you need. A demo of DynoPage is available in the Portfolio Systems section of the Mac A Vendors forum (go macaven). I would suggest checking…

#131580-Two-up Pages
Message #131884
John, Take a look at DynoPage by Portfolio Systems. DynoPage is a print utility that allows one to do amazing things when printing from any application, including Word. A Demo is available here on CIS, so you can see if it will do exactly what you want. (Since such a…

Save as RTF
Message #131581
I'm trying to save my documents in RTF format, from Word for Windows, so I can move the documents to Mac Word 4.0. I thought this was working at one point, but now it's just intermittent. On some of my documents, the "Save As/Format Type" list box is light grey…
Two-up Pages
Message #131580
I'm stumped trying to attain a certain effect in Microsoft Word 4.0 for the Mac. My company prints its manuals on ordinary 8 1/2 by 11 paper. We use a mirrored gutter on a landscape page. What we'd like to do is print each (odd or even) page *twice* on…
#107187-2×4 does PostScript!
Message #107333
John, I've been following this thread with some interest. I'd like to find out how you would modify the 'showpage' to duplicate a page at another location. Short of re-sending the page information, bracketed by 'translate', I couldn't think of a solution. If you do re-send the page information via…

John — I see, I see. Hmmmmm. If it's a reall killer, you might see if Vince has some time to work out a magic macro for you. He's cheap, but worth it. — Woody Read action !re 106882

#106312-2×4 does PostScript!
Message #106476
John — I'd be willing to bet you'd be time and money ahead to print the doc TWICE — the second time with a 4.25 inch left margin — and feed the paper through the printer twice. The automated approach you're looking for sounds (at first blush) to be more…

#106312-#2×4 does PostScript!
Message #106373
John, You'll find all sorts of other goodies in WOPR too! TwobyFour as it stands will do you two facing pages per sheet but it could probably be hacked to get the same page twice. I'll consult Woody. –Eileen There is 1 Reply. Read action !

2×4 does PostScript!
Message #106267
John, Great news! After replying to you I got to thinking… there is NO reason why 2×4 shouldn't be able to do PostScript! So I tried it and it WORKS! Just choose the option that matches the way your PS printer feeds its paper and it will do EXACTLY what…
#106189-Two-up Printing
Message #106194
John, In Woody Leonhard's WOPR package, downloadable from here, there is 2×4 which will print two facing pages on a single landscape page. It works with all laserjets, deskjets and dot matrix printers so if you are not dead set on PostScript it will do what you want beautifully. (Vince,…

Two-up Printing
