Peter Brewer asks ...
I would like to use doc in landscape mode.. e.g. have horizontal or
'sideways' slides. What resource can you set to do this?
The page dimensions are part of the document style; you can change
them to whatever you need. By default, slides style defines
%textwidth 6in
%textheight 8.5in
You can add the overrides to the document file itself. Or you can define
your own style.

InterViews is a user-interface tool. Where's the menu selection to generate the correct output for what I've WHYSIWHIG'ed on the screen? If I follow your earlier suggestion with the widths and heights (which I had done before you mention) I get truncated output.. this is not WHYSIWHIG.. therefore its wrong.. therefore there is a need. You guys should know that better than I. >If you don't have such any tools, you can hack a quick shell script to Agreed, thanks for the shell script. I was afraid it might not work with some of the possible postscript InterViews might generate. Or it might not be WHYSIWHIG.. thought you might have had a more elegant solution which I had overlooked. Peter
