= SUMMARY =

If you use the Print Print Form Letters command in Works version 2.00 to print in landscape orientation to a PostScript printer, the text will be rotated 90 degrees on each form letter.

The problem occurs on any PostScript printer when using the POSTSCRP.PRD printer driver. It only occurs while printing form letters in landscape orientation.

To correct the problem, make the following change to the POSTSCRP.INI file in the Works program directory:

  Search for the text “90 rotate”. It occurs only once in the file, around line 21. The unmodified line reads as follows: “…fontable 1 get fontset E 90 rotate…”   Insert the word “initgraphics” (without the quotation marks) before “90 rotate”. The line should now read as follows: “…fontable 1 get fontset E initgraphics 90 rotate…”   Save the modified POSTSCRP.INI file. 

To make sure the modified POSTSCRP.INI file gets sent to the printer, turn the printer off, turn it back on, and then choose Print.Print from the word processor.
