I've been playing with AWGS recently and found that I get rather high quality output when the output is set to compressed mode. (72 DPI rather than the 36 dpi NORMAL). This produces fonts which are the size they are supposed to be. Now the problem I have in Page Layout, is I haven't been able to figure out if there is a way to set the page length to 22", such that when I go to print out in compressed mode (or real mode :-) ) I get a full page fo text rather than the half page I currenlty get now. Does anyone know if this can be done? If it can't, then its an obvious choice for an enhancement (IMHO).

If you set condensed mode in the Page Setup dialog, your page should auto- matically be readjusted to 22". Go to full page mode to check. -- Syd Polk | Wherever you go, there you are. jazzman@claris.com | Let the music be your light. GO 'STROS! | These opinions are mine.

Go to full page mode to check. Actually, not quite. There's two issues here: Fonts being the size they're *supposed* to be... "Normal" mode is WYSIWYG for the GS - stretched characters, and the page size versus resolution. "Condensed" mode gets you the same ratio as WYSIWYG on a Mac. If you use condensed mode, you will not get a 22" page. You will get an 11" page with twice the resolution. E.g., in normal mode, the normal PL window will give you 4" of vertical page display; in condensed, you get 2" (in intermediate, you get 2-3/4"). This means that you have twice as many pixels per vertical inch. If you fill up a page in condensed mode, you should get a pageful of condensed text. If you fill up a page in normal mode, you should get a pageful of "normal" text. Any questions? Scott Lindsey |"Cold and misty morning.

Tried this last night and it worked like a champ. I can't keep my daughter off the machine. We were up until ten last night getting out a nine page news letter for school. Thanks Syn and Scott for all your help......Chris ============================================================================= | Chris Shatara | Internet: shatara@memit.dec.com | | | shatara@memit.enet.dec.com | | Opinions expressed are | DEC Easynet: memit::shatara | | mine and mine only! | UUCP: ...!decwrl!memit!shatara | =============================================================================
