Please forgive if this has been asked 1,240 times before.
I'm just starting to learn PS.
I'm trying to use the DRAFT page background print. From
WUARCHIVE, I fetched the following code which is supposed
to be compatible with Macintosh applications, using the
PS escape font:
% Prints a gray "DRAFT" in the center of the page
% (c) 1989 Peter Jorgensen
% non-commercial distribution rights granted to bearer
% lines beginning with percent sign are comments, and can be left out.
gsave
.95 setgray
220 400 moveto
/Helvetica-Bold findfont 72 scalefont setfont
45 rotate
(DRAFT) show
grestore
Now, this seems to work reasonably well, except in MacWrite I
(I know, I know... but it works fine for the limited amount of
text processing I do) it prints mirror image upside down (ie,
it is upside down and reversed). I also fetched a section of
PS code which is supposed to do a similar thing in MSWORD, but
when taken into MacWrite it also prints mirror image.
If any of you PS wizards out there can make a suggestion, I'd
be grateful. Or, if there is a good place to ftp from, I'd
like to know that too...
Please either E-Mail me or post here.
THANKS
