Hi Dave,

Do you know Spain or Catalonia it's an interesting place for visit
the next December. The wheather it's different from one place to other
of Spain, for example in Viella (Lrida-Pirineus) you can find a temperat
temperature 0f -22 C and in Islas Canarias you can go to the beach, 26-30
C.

In Conclusion I recommend to visit Spain (Sevilla and Barcelona) are
interesting places to visit in this moment because no more people-tourism
 you will find...... O.K
 If you are any problem or question do not doubt in contact to me.

Janelle,

My husband and I have been interested in going to Hawaii.  We are looking
for a quite, romantic, outdoorsy kindof place, and we are thinking that
Kauai is the place.  Please tell me about where you stayed and what you did.
Also, if you don't mind telling me, how much do the interisland flights to
and from Kauai cost?  Is Kauai touristy?

Thanks for all your help!

The driving around Frankfurt in winter is horrendous.  I nearly became a rich
widow when my husband was being driven on the Autobahn.  It appears that a lot
of chemicals are tossed on the frozen roads, but after the stuff turns to
slush, it's not plowed or scraped away.  Come nightfall again, and everything
starts freezing again.  Same goes for sidewalks, too, in case you're now so
spooked about driving that you decide to walk around!

Are there any other listserv groups that deal with desktop publishing in

questions involving misc. DTP topics, but which aren't appropriate for this
pagemaker list.  For instance, maybe I'd like to know what books are
available for layout and design, or get some advice from someone who has
started a small home business in DTP, or get a list of professional DTP
associations (like the one which was recently posted), etc., etc.  Or, if
no such generic group exists, is it appropriate to post such questions to
this pagemaker list?  (I've avoided doing this since this isn't quite the
place to post such questions, but I don't know what other DTP lists might
exist.)

I tried placing it as a story in a new document, but then I lose all of the

Any ideas on this?

Breaking away from the current thread, I've got a question.  I'm using 
version 4 under Windows at 1024x768 resolution.  When I type in text and 
draw objects (boxes) and I try to select it later, it seems that the 
mouse cursor is behind the paper making it hard to align objects to grids 
(there's a minute red X-hair indicating the cursor position) and to 
select part of text blocks.  The only work-around I've found is to draw a 
big paper-colored box and place it in the background layer.  At that 
point my cursor shows up clearly.  Is there any other alternative?  I 
really don't like having that box because I can't 'lock' it and I 
sometimes select and move it by accident causing the whole screen to 
repaint itself (I don't have an accelerator!).

Thanks.

Subject:      Perplexing problem with PageMaker 4.2 and LaserWriter IIg

One of our heaviest PageMaker users is having a problem for which we've been
unable to find any answer.

He has a large document that he originally started in Macintosh PageMaker 4.0
which was printed to a LaserWriter IInt. A few months back, we bought him a
LaserWriter IIg since he makes heavy use of both complex FreeHand graphics, and
of printing PageMaker documents to PostScript files then placing them back into
other PageMaker documents (he does the latter primarily as an effective way to
group the page elements into a single element).

At the time we got the LaserWriter IIg, we also updated him to PageMaker 4.2.

Since that time, he has found that this document cannot be printed to the
LaserWriter IIg.  It continues to print fine to a LaserWriter IInt.  The memory
in his IIg has been increased, and his printer drivers were updated to the
drivers that came with his IIg.

In general, he has found that simple documents print well on the IIg, and that
the complex FreeHand graphics print faster as well, but as documents become
more complex, he will start getting the infamous "Offending Command" errors
from the printer.  However, when he sends the documents off to the IInt, they
come out fine.

Final note: his Mac (previously a Mac II, recently replaced by a Mac IIsi),
the LaserWriter IInt, and the LaserWriter IIg are all on the same LocalTalk
segment of our company's rather large AppleTalk network.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

have created with Intellifonts.  I have not had a problem placing documents
before I installed the fonts.

	Do Truetype fonts not work with Pagemaker?  Some of you who have
Windows seem to use Truetype fonts, also.  How can I place these documents?

Subject:      Internal error--bad table index

This old chestnut again...

The ``Table...'' to which PageMaker is referring is it's internal
display table -- that is the list of elements it will use to
create a document. If you've been doing a lot of cut and pasting
or have been re-re-re-re-using a document instead of using a
template this is likely to happen. With each revision of
PageMaker the amount of table space has been increased to the
problem has got rarer (indeed, one of the best ways to fix this
problem on an old PM3.x file is to open it in 4.x!) BUT is still
happens.

(Interesting historical sidenote: Paul Brainerd once explained
the philosphy behind this system in an interview I did with him.
The idea was to provide Atex-like functionality (surprise,
surprise) and allow each and every edit change to be tracked and
undone. Needless to say this has not been accomplished on PC and
Mac type platforms because of memory/disk/CPU limitations but the
technology is, I believe, still in there ready for the day
when... )

How do you get around the problem? Well, first you make sure that
you don't get into it in the first place by doing proper
publication management! Use templates and always Save as... or
set the Save smaller option. Secondly, do bulk edits in the
TextEditor and NOT on the page - cut and pasting text blocks
creates more items in the display list. Third, if all else fails
try opening a copy of the file and then deleting all the text.
Then use the Place from option to pull the text out of the
original file into the new template.

Once upon a time there was a program called the Ripper which
someone hacked together to allow PM1.x and 2.x users to extract
text and PICT graphics from crashed PM files (it crashed more
often in those days and didn't have an Export either.) I don't
know if this is still around but it might be worth having a copy
to hand. CanOpener might also be of use...

Henry, Dave and the rest of the Pagemaker List:

Hello folks! Well -- I have a problem. The ftp site that has been
with us for quite some time (SCRIBE.UWYO.EDU) has been shut down from
me. Thus, we currently do not have a site to use. I am looking into
the possibility of using another site here at Univ. of Wyoming, but
the likelihood is in no way certain.

Do any of you know of an FTP site that would be interested in our FAQ
documents? The catch is that they will be frequently updated (once
every two to four weeks or so). If you know of a site, please give me
a call.  I'm also looking into the possibilities of storing the files
on some of the biggies (WUARCHIVE and MAC) -- again, they are
hesitant about it being updated relatively frequently.

In the meantime, please bear with me. Being homeless is not the most
pleasant experience!

that will not go away, create a folder on another drive and give
it the same name as the problem folder. Drag the new folder to
the location of the problem folder and let the new folder replace

To save a PageMaker document as an ASCII file:
1.  Open the PM document.
2.  Select the text tool.
3.  Click anywhere in the text.
4.  Choose "Select all" from the Edit menu.
    (The entire block of text should be highlighted.)
5.  Select "Export" from the File menu.
6.  In the Export dialog box, select "Entire story."
    Select "Text only" under File Format.
    Give the file a new name, then click Okay.

This gives you a simple ASCII text file which should be adequate
for a mail message. For more complex documents, I bring the text
file into WordPerfect and run a macro to change the line
length, add extra line breaks, and change PM extended characters
to their ASCII equivalents. (I sure hope the next version of PM has
a better ASCII export filter.)

Hope this helps.
