Greetings.
I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with. Here's the scenario:
I have a PICT file, created with MacDraw. It has some graphics, some
regular text, and some text rotated 90 degrees (I didn't create the
PICT, so I don't know exactly how it got rotated). If I print the
file from MacDraw on my DeskWriter, it looks OK. It also looks OK on
the screen (obviously). If I then place the file into a Pagemaker
document with Pagemaker 3.02, it still looks OK on the screen BUT
when I print it the horizontal spacing of the vertical (90 degree
rotated) text is all wrong. The adjacent letter spacing is fine, but
the location, relative to the left and right margins, of each block of
text is all wrong, such that some blocks are on top of each other,
and none of them are where they're supposed to be. When I print this
PICT, using the same version of Pagemaker, on a LaserWriter NTX, it
looks just fine. Just to make things more interesting, if I bring
the file into Cricket Draw, the spacing of the rotated text is all
wrong on the screen, but different from the way it looked printed. I
did not print it from Cricket Draw, since I was getting too
frustrated at the time.
The system with DeskWriter configuration is:
Mac IIcx, system version 6.0.3, 4MB RAM, 80Meg HD
The DeskWriter driver is the original (one and only) version, whose
version number escapes me for the moment.
The system with the LaserWriter configuration is
Mac SE/30, system version 6.0.3, 2MB RAM, 40Meg HD
Any ideas out there? I need to print this on the DeskWriter, and can only
use the LaserWriter once in a while, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
