[comp.sys.apple] appleworks gs/clip-art

girardin@acsu.buffalo.edu (anthony c girardin) (02/21/90)

can anyone help me with either of the following?

	is there any clip-art available at any of the ftp sites for
	appleworks gs? i'd love to be able to stick some fancy
	graphics and objects in my documents.

	does anyone have any tips on how to make graphics look
	better when printing in condensed mode? i seems like i have
	to sacrifice either the text or the graphics when i print.

	does 12-point times (in condensed mode on the laserwriter)
	print the same as 12-point times for the mac? my housemate
	swears it looks different and i can't help but agree. should
	i be printing in normal instead of condensed?

thanks for any help/answers/questions/comments,

anthony c girardin

btw, appleworks gs and a twgs is one helluva combination.

Can't help you here.

Use the option key for squares and circles when making them.  This makes
the object square according to the print record, so if you have condensed
mode turned on, they will appear long and tall.

It does look a little different; the fonts on the GS still print skinnier
than their counterparts on the Mac.  However, you do not want to print
in normal.  Your fonts will really be tall and skinny and you will use
twice as much paper.
