Two Column Printing in Atari Works:
Make Use of Your Technology!
Template by Richard Brown
"Read All About It in GEnie Lamp ST"
If you use Atari Works and are printing with a DeskJet or Bubble Jet, you
have two technologies of which to take advantage.
1. Atari Works is DTP accurate in laying out a page, but does not have a
two column feature.
2. Atari Works supports multiple windows.
3. Your ink jet or bubble jet printer is color separation accurate
relative to reloading a page and printing it again (twice).
So, by using two Atari Works documents, one for the left column and a
second for the right column, you can simply print the left side, reload,
and print the right side, correct?
You bet. The two .STW Atari Works documents provided:
LEFT.STW -- prints the left sides and headlines
RIGHT.STW -- prints the right sides and "footer headlines"
Load both documents into Works, and print LEFT.STW. You'll get two pages
printed with headlines and the left sides of the pages only.
Next, reload the two sheets: on the Deskjet, SIMPLY TURN THEM OVER AS
THEY LAY IN THE OUTPUT TRAY. THE INK SIDE IS DOWN, AND THE TOPS OF PAGES
FACE THE GRAB ROLLERS AS YOU PLACE THEM INTO THE FEED TRAY. THE FIRST
PAGE TO BE LOADED SHOULD READ "UNLIMITED FLEXIBLE COLUMNS" ON THE INK
SIDE.
AFTER RELOADING THE PAGES: Just select the window for RIGHT.STW, and
print the right side. It's very easy once you know how.
If you have any problems, check your page setup. The page is letter
size, and the document margins should be TOP: .67 inches and the bottom,
left and right sides, .5 inches. That's because some DeskJets just can't
print a half inch from the top of a page.
The two pages outline a lot of the "how-to" of two column printing:
* with full justification control within a column
* with multiple fonts/font heights supported
* with graphics supported within the column
* with spreadsheet cell importation supported
* with full width, 2-column wide headlines
Welcome to easy and fast two column mode in Atari Works!
