Ok, I give up!

As try as I might, I am unable to figure out how to do Tables and Mail
merging using PageStream 4.1.1. Can anyone tell me how to do this please.

Thanks

Danny Parker

>As try as I might, I am unable to figure out how to do Tables

The readme has details on this. Short summary: Draw the table using the
table toolbox tool. Enter text and set attributes using the text tool, and
add/remove rows/columns and set other stuff using the reshape tool.

>and Mail merging

First, create variables using define variables and insert them into your
text where you want them. Go to print-> mail merge panel. Check mail merge.
Select the file to mail merge. Then select variables for each field. If you
use label/repeating imposition printing, it will automatically grab the
next record for each "label" on the page.

I haven't been using PageStream as much lately, as it happens, as in
the past. I recently installed 4.1.1 Mac.

I run OS 10.1.2/Classic 9.2.2 on a 300 MHz "Wallstreet" G3 Powerbook.

Currently Pagestream behaves well until I try to print, at which
point it crashes, taking Classic with it.

Same thing happens with 4.0.8 and 4.0.9

Print to file (.ps) works. I can then drop the .ps file in distiller
to create a .pdf file, drop the .pdf in Acrobat, and print from there.

Any suggestions of what to double-check/look for?

I decided to try the imposition feature to print some return labels on
Avery 5160 stock. I created a 2.625" x 1" label and placed it in the
upper left corner where the first label is located on the sheet. I start
the print process and choose imposition, repeating, 3 across and 10
down. NOTHING prints on the page. What am I doing wrong?

I think that for imposition to work the PGS page size has to be set at
the same size as a single label. Imposition will then arrange these
pages on a page the size of the printing paper.

By setting your label in the corner of a larger page (say A4) you are
trying to print 30 copies of an A4 sheet on to a single A4 page.

Cheerio,

A question for Mac users with the most recent version of PageStream. Is
it still a Classic only application?

I can answer that. Yes. We are not carbonized or OSX at this time.
