Has anyone using Pagemaker had trouble making Postscript files? I've been using standard procedure, command-F after clicking OK in the print dialog box, and all I can get is the Looking for Laserwriter box. I've also tried f,k,m, and command and shift variations thereupon. System: Mac II, 2 meg, 40 meg Apple internal, system 6.0.2. Can anyone give me a clue? -- tad -- W "Rident Stolidi Verba Latina" S I e-mail and random flames to: T B mblakele@jarthur.claremont.edu or uunet!muddcs!jarthur!mblakele R West is Best, But Fire is Better

If you're using PageMaker 3, then hold down option when you click on the "OK" button in the "Print" dialog box, and you'll get a second dialog box for printing to disk and other stuff. RTFM for more details... --- Alex UUCP: {att,backbones}!ucbvax!qal.berkeley.edu!lauac INTERNET: lauac%qal.berkeley.edu@ucbvax.berkeley.edu FIDONET: Alex.Lau@bmug.fidonet.org (1:161/444)

Try holding down the option key when you choose Print... from the File menu. This will get you the standard Apple print dialogs. Then, after you click OK to start printing, press the F key. I haven't tried this, but it should work (in theory). -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
