[comp.sys.mac.misc] printing postscript and page num in Word prob

halam1@ub.d.umn.edu (Haseen I. Alam) (03/05/91)

 Hi,

 I have got two word question.

 1) I am trying to use the example in the word manual (p 287) to try out
 postscript printing.  If I can figure this out then I will import some
 PS code from some other place.  I applied the ps style to the example code
 the text becomes hidden, but nothing prints.  If I say "Print Hidden Text"
 then raw text comes out.  Here is how that code looks like

	.para.
	initclip
	/Helvetica-Bold findfont 30 scalefont setfont
	/ShowOutline {true charpath stroke} def
	/WordCircle {15 15 345
	{gsave rotate 0 0 moveto (Word) ShowOutline grestore} for} def
	wp$x 2 div wp$y 2 div translate
	.5 setlinewidth
	WordCircle 0 0  moveto (Word) true charpath
	gsave 1 setgray fill grestore
	stroke

 Is there something wrong with the above postscript code?  I am printing
 to a Apple LaserWriter IINT, so I am not sure what else could be wrong.

 2) I am writing my senior project report using Word 4.0.  I added the page
 numbers and did the first page special to remove the numbering from the
 first page.  But then the second page starts (the one after the cover page) 
 says #2.  I need to have that say #1 (Instructor DICTATES!!).  I tried to
 set the starting page number to zero, but that does not work, since I
 guess that how word carries the proper number to linked files.  I guess I
 can have the cover as a separate file, but that sounds awkward.  Is there
 any way to start the page numbering at 1 but from the second page?

 Please mail your replies to me directly.  Thanks in advane.

 Haseen.
