- I think there is a statement you need to include in your WIN.INI file,
- namely:
-
- landscapeorient=270
-
- This is to fix a bug in MicroSoft's postscript driver (it is not unique
- to, or caused by, Corel Draw). WHat I am not sure of is exactly *where*
- in WIN.INI you need this line - it's either in the [postscript,file]
- section, or in the [<specific printer>, file] section. After getting the
- updated postscript driver from MSoft's bbs, this problem went away, so I
- have no way to check on it. I recommend getting that updated driver.
- Call MSoft and get their bbs number.
