- A friend of mine does own PageStream3 and while doing some works with it we
- encountered two problems which doesn't seem to be listed in the 'Unfinished' or
- Known bugs list of the readme file.
-
- He does use Versoin 3.0i so is I far as I know on the latest one. So because I
- do have the access to the news groups, and we wanted to create a document in
- Pagestream together, I thought I could ask here if anybody, maybe even the guys
- at softlogik have an explanation for this.
-
- The first problem is rather simple. Is the Object/fill command already working?
- We could fill a frame only with black or with but not with any of the patterns
- but that was what we wanted. Isn't it implemented yet? We didn't find any text
- stating that.
-
- The other problem concerns the scaling of printouts. We made a weekly diary
- with boxes including text for the different lessons and used lines to seperate
- them. A 100% A4 printout worked properly, but neither 'scale to fit', 'custom'
- nor 'thumbnail' seemed to work. That is, it did, but not the way we liked. The
- only thing which was scaled down was the text (in its size) but neither the
- lines nor the frames. So we had a full page A4 printout with the text being
- placed at the same position as for the 100% version but scaled down. So how do
- we get a printout on half the paper size???
- We didn't as well find any notes about that not yet being implemented.
- We did use a HP 5l which I used with both a HP4 and HP5P driver.
-
- Does anybody have a explanation for that.
- Private email prefered but not necessary.
- Thanks in advance.
