I have had success, as I mentioned, using the technique I described under TOPS and MacServe (and the Keeper -- remember that one?) I have never tried this on an AppleShare server. AppleShare may have a mechanism to prevent the server from being the startup volume. OR, it may simply be that your AppleShare volume was READ ONLY. Remember, the startup volume must be read/write. Good Luck, and let me know how you make out.

My question is the same as that of Dan Ellison in this Digest, Jan. 5: How does one send PostScript output to a file? He requested an e-mail direct reply, but I suspect that the answer is of more general interest and ask that it be posted publicly. I have seen some discussion related to this matter here and elsewhere. The gist seems to be to print to the laser printer, but immediately after clicking OK on the Print dialogue box, press command-F to get the PostScript file (or command-K to also get the laser prep file). I have tried this in MicroSoft Works without success (except once, and I don't know why it worked that time). I was able to get the PostScript file (with laser prep) when I was already directly connected to the laser printer, but of course this defeats the purpose. But then I ran into another problem: Even with the laser prep file prefixed to the PostScript file for my document, I was unable to get the laser printer to print anything. Any ideas?

But it is actually worse than you say in one instance. The problem with spacing (all words running together) also occurs with the Imagewriter II. It happens when (at least in WriteNow when) you don't check "Use Printer Spacing" in the Page Setup dialog. T/Maker claims that this is an effect of screen chars vs printer chars - "...widths of characters for the printer are slightly different >From the widths for the screen." So you can take your choice between looking nice on-screen (don't use printer spacing) or looking nice on the page (use printer spacing) but not both. And they told me it was a WSYWIG machine!! NO!!

But at that time I had no interest on the discussion because of having no access to a MAC. Now I have an own MAC and I feel that I need a larger screen... Can anybody tell me that cheep solution to get large screen access? Does anybody have experience with such a solution -- not a full page screen? If you can give me any comment, please send me better direct than via the digest because not all digests are sure distributed here. By the way, if anybody remember the discussion and can tell me how to get that old INFO-MAC, I would like to know how I can get it from the archives from BITNET.

I need some help... [Saga Part I: Cross referencing -- Introduction to the maze of Word 3] Now I'm working on about 120 page of thesis. Since I need cross referencing on figure, table, equation numbers and such, I'm using "Print merge" facility of Word by creating a separate file in which all fields are defined by something like; <> As the number of fields approached to its ceiling of 125, various problems appeared as though Word approached its memory limit. (I'm using Mac II with 8MB RAM and I have increased MSWord's memory allocation to 1.5MB(!), BTW. MSWord is 3.02, System is 6.0.2 and running under Multifinder.) For example, if it hits the unknown field name, AND the number of field names are around 125, AND the size of the text is more than 100kB, it cannot merge the text anymore! (Program is loaded into the memory through the "Preferences..." menu and files are tried both on and off.) This is a pain of neck since there's no convenient way other than creating "New Document" file as an output of the merged file to tell which part of my text is the offending field. (If, and only if Word would point out the offending field name...! :-<) [Saga Part II: Solution as a practicalist] To avoid this memory limitation, I had to split my thesis into three files. This works out very well, although I have to delete white spaces which are produced by the <> statement each time I "merge" the text files. [Saga Part III: Table of Contents and sections] Even though I split files, "Table of Contents" works just fine, as long as I set "Next File" dialogue in "Page Setup" menu properly -- there's one cavity, though. "Print Merge" automatically appends a new section at the bottom of the original text. As a result, there's one page of jump in page numbering of the table of contents. If I simply delete the appended section, the setup of the previous section just resets (another Word bug, I might say...). I have to build the header, footer, page number positions and such section-related definitions, from all over the scratch again. [Qeustions] 1. What is the best way of cross referencing in MSWord 3? Should I switch to FullWrite or else...? 2. Is there any patch to raise the limit of 125 in different field names? 3. Will/Has the seemingly limitation of memory in "Print Merge" be/been fixed? 4. Why in the world Word should append another section to the original text when merging? 5. Is there a handy way to 'copy' the settings of a certain section to the section appended by Word? Please reply directly to me since I don't read the network news regularly. I'll summarize them to the net if there's enough interest. Thanks in advance. ************************************************************************** Youhei Morita High Energy Physics Lab, Univ. of Tsukuba -|- /|\ _____ Be yourself Bitnet: MORITA@JPNKEKVX -|- -|- |__|__| No matter what they say HEPnet: UTKBP::MORITA /|\ /|\ |__|__| -STING Nifty: MGG01275 ************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Jan 89 16:22:19 est From: gateh@conncoll.bitnet Subject: Overhead projection devices for Macs We are looking into the LCD screens that are used with an overhead projector to project a computer screen. I was wondering what experiences folks with them, good and bad. We have a PC Viewer and the appropriate attachments for a Mac SE, but are not overly pleased with the display. I have seen one which does an excellent job, but I am not sure of the vendor - I believe it was a Panasonic. I am interested in input specs, screen type, projector restrictions (some require low-wattage overhead), and a rough price. Thanks much in advance.
