Aloha, OK, I'll admit it. I'm a newbie. The attachment I have included is NOT a virus!!! Hlp_1.doc It was a cute little Church Newsletter for our Hunian Language Project. It was made on an Atari. The fonts don't match, natch. But I thought that our PGS Windoz would simply go to defaults. No, CRASH! Boom! How do I load it into PGS Windoz? Anyone who tries it should have everything else saved, so that if PGS -- |

If I open PGS (in Windoz) and try to load it as a .doc it seem to know what it is doing. I go through several dialog boxes, and then PGS crashes. It asks me if I want to use the default fonts. I say yes. Crash! Burn! -Lani Adversity brings wisdom. And boy, am I getting wise!
PS: Boy that was a really fast turnaround! I'm impressed. Yes, I think this was Atari 2.2, at least the last PGS that came out for the Atari. PGS appended the extension. You are absolutely correct. When I click on the file it tries (and fails) to open it as a WORD document. If I'm already in PGS though, there doesn't seem to be a problem. |

So, when I removed all the fonts from the file, leaving it just a PAGESTREAM4 caused an invalid page fault in Pretty complicated. I hope it can be figured out... -- Adversity brings wisdom. Oh boy! |

It does seem to be the Windows Style Guide to rely entirely on the 3 This caused me some confusion when I first started using Windblows a Oops, I'd named them with 4 letters, TIFF in one case, JPEG in another. So, in the end, the point is that I think it was decided to use .PGS for My .02, plus tax Don Cox wrote: |

>The upper right hand logo of the Project is good, but the backgroundOn the Windoz rep, it is simply a dark gray background. You are correct! It should be gray stripes! As loaded, the text on Page 1 did not flow around the centered box, soSame on Windoz. Using Word Wrap to get the text to run aroundIs there a word wrap control on the windoz version? This wasYes. As I recall, I used some sort of sexless font, the lack of serfs might have made it a little smaller. >Yes, it almost works. And I imagine the problem lies in the WindozYEAH! PGS Windoz also asks me to confirm Aril to change all the fonts, just before it crashes! >Do you get all 4 pages?I was worried about the clipboard. It uses many .cvg calls. Is/was Calamus ever implemented for the Amiga? Are .cvg a proper extension for you? But vector graphic graphics are so fine! I can change the dimensions of that graphic all I want, and the dpi of the fills never change at all! I use cursive to make technical notes for the Newsletter. but you also got the background call to the logo correct, and PGS Window does not. I hope that the background fills still exist... The original Atari document used Oriental (Brass Fortune Cookie header)In my original file, all pages are 8 1/2 x 11. The page numbers are some sort of font which uses high ascii for numbers which are white surrounded in black circles. Anyway, it's nice to know that Amiga and Windows versions are at leastPretty amazing. You could print an Atari copy of the Newsletter in a few minutes of tweaking it! Gosh, Deron really does a fine job! -Lani Adversity brings wisdom.

Is there anybody here who uses PGS on a Mac? My problem is in a font that I created using Fontographer. Besides mostly normal characters (which work w/o problems) there are a few very wide characters (company logo, etc). These special characters are about 5x as wide as a regular characters and PGS 3.4 has trouble handling them. For all I know the design is right and all baselines and other stuff is set correctly. On top of it these characters work well with ALL other apps I use (Freehand, all Adobe apps, AppleWorks, etc). Any ideas? Is this something that might have been fixed in PGS 4?

Yes, I too love the little brass fortune cookies! :) Yes, I have the latest version. It's odd, it thinks that it is an 8 1/2 x 11 and two 11 x 17, to make a total of five pages. It prints out the 4 pages of it perfectly! But the main specific problem I have with PGS Windoz at the moment is that the background fills calls fail on the logo and the .cvg Clip Board. Of course, in general the worst thing right now are the artifacts left on the screen all the times which cover up the work. And strangely, all the text seems to be "frozen" and while the font can be changed, no words can be added or taken away. If it wasn't for the fact that the fonts CAN be changed, I'd be thinking that it is assuming the text objects are all graphics. On the Brass Fortune Cookie part, can you chance the words? Not the font, but the words themselves? -Lani Adversity brings wisdom.

I sure get ticked at my forgetfulness, but I get more ticked This has been repeated by me a zillion times... and I still forget Tonight I was wrapping up my term paper... due Monday... and had I had been running PageStream and was using the Sent To Editor The cause is always the same: I have MagicMenu hacked into my system. (I love what it does for I had just scrolled to the bottom of the text file in PageLiner This has happened enought times that I should know better, and it I lost 40 minutes of particularly creative prose and stuff for my Now, I may be able to get back to the flow of thought I was on,
1. Is there a fix for the bug? I seem to recall someone 2. Is this problem, the incompatibility with MagicMenu, being 3. Is there a NEW PageLiner with PgSt4.x??? If so, is it BETTER? 4. Is there some way to have a AUTO SAVE feature set up in 5. Will there be an upgrade of any kind to PageStream 3.4 Beta9, TIA Gil Knutson -- COMMENT #6 TO REPEL UNWANTED CONVERSATIONALISTS: |
