APPLICATION: MicroSoft WORD 5.0a (others?) WANT: Landscape printout SONG & DANCE ROUTINE: Microsoft tech support claims that because the Laserwriter will "automatically rotate text if the page size is defined as 11x8.5, instead of 8.5x11, therefore no landscape init file is required, and not supplied" Of course when I tried it with 2 printers (one was ADOBE 47.0 (DataProducts LZR1260), the other ADOBE 51.0 (QMS's PS2200)) it did not work. Is the tech support person incorrect? ... was it by any chance an older LW that did this, but now that is no longer true? ... any hints (=> firepower for next call) would be apreciated ... thanks. leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr

Without those two files I would be unable to print anything in PS ..., so yes, I do have/use them, but the problem is still there :-( leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr
