John, Try leaving a message for Olav Martin Kvern (ole to his friends) in section 16 (Phil & ole's place). I'm sure he could come up with the Postscript for you. Dave Read action !

Two-up Printing?
Message #19258
John, I betcha that what you're looking to do can be done most easily with about three lines of postscript sent to the Lino before you start outputing a regular PageMaker document. Trouble is, I don't know what those lines would be! They'd say something like: From here on, whenever…

Two-up Printing?
Message #19246
John, Have you discussed this with your printer? My experience is that printers wouldn't want this kind of signature. It is better for them to have printer spreads, where the two pages that come out side by side are on opposite sides of the fold in the final book. For…
Sergio, If you're trying to scale a patterned fill, then I fear you're out of luck. They're not scalable. Dave

Spell Check Help???
Message #50393
Neal, It sounds as though you've managed to declare to PageMaker that the paragraph in question is in a language different from the one represented by the dictionary you have loaded. Check your paragraph settings. Dave
Well, Dan, You've certainly encouraged me to send in my registration card! Dave
Dianne, Cliff Stoll is one of the most entertaining speakers I've ever had the privilege of hearing. He gave a talk at one of user group meetings (in 1981, I think, in Houston). It was about the NCAR graphics software that he had ported to our computers. He was hilarious.…
Dan, But how personal is personal? Presumably, one can freely publish a document that includes a "Metamorphized" font. Dave
David, Are you sure you didn't have a font number conflict? Dave
Joyce, "Discover what you're best at" sounds interesting. I'll look out for it. Dave
Joyce, Joyce, Something's wrong. Something's wrong. Your messages are appearing twice. Your messages are appearing twice. It's playing havoc with my Navigator. It's playing havoc with my Navigator. Dave, Dave (grin, grin)
Joyce, I forgot to mention that Sunburst offers a 30 day free trial, as well. Dave
#Software recom. (ApII)
Message #6412
Joyce, Pam has two recommendations for you re: pre-Algebra. From our own experience, we like Algeblaster from Davidson. We have it for Anthony and Denise. They enjoy "playing" it, and hopefully learn from it, too! It covers: Monomials & Polynomials; Positive/Negative Numbers; Factoring Polynomials and Trinomials; Solving Equations & Systems…
Don, I hope you didn't miss the point: it was a _quarter_ of a giggle for your _two-bit_ humor. Dave
Earl, We're wandering way off topic, but this is a hot one in our household. It seems today that accidents must be blamed on somebody. Crying over spilt milk has become the thing to do. And now we even have lawyers advertising their skill at squeezing a buck out of…
Bill, One of the things you may have picked up in recent days is that I am shortly to be in need of a new job, being a "victim" of a corporate restructuring. I put victim in quotes because this is probably the kick in the ass I needed to…
Bill, I have a lot of sympathy for you rant! I'm glad you had this opportunity to get it off your chest. One phenomenon I've observed is that the very same person who demands absolute perfection from an external typesetter, loses all perspective when judging his or her work. It…
Earl, Well said re: rights versus obligations. Maybe we should get the lawyers to talk about this this evening? Dave
Don, I'll give you a quarter of a giggle for that 2-bit humor. Dave
Tom, It's a funny old world! When we first bought the Goudy Old Style font, we did so by accident. We meant to buy Garamond. For the longest while, we seldom if ever used Goudy. But then, I had an attack of gout! So I set my monthly newsletter in…
Quark Quirk
Message #5978
Mike, Continuing the conversation we started over in Aldus. The realization that Quark XPress hyphenation exceptions might be causing layout problems at our SB came to me shortly after I made those comments about XPress spacing problems at the SB CO a couple of weeks ago. Now I've run into…
Message mixups
Message #5792
Peter, Jared left about five messages that fouled up Navigator during review of a session. In each case, he inserted as the first line of those messages a reference number that Navigator mistook for the start of a message. So, on review, the messages got split in half. First, you'd…
CO Crib Sheet
Message #2473
Betty, I remember now (prompted by Brad). Go to CO at any time and type "/help". That will give you a list of the available commands with a one-line summary. I have that next to my computer on one of those clipboards that stands up so you can type from…
