Cannot Redirect Genigraphics Print File PSS ID Number: Q68939 Article last modified on 10-29-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

WINDOWS

Summary:

When creating a Genigraphics print file, you have two options: to send it with a modem or on a disk. If you choose to send the presentation on a disk, you will be given an option of where you want to save the file. If you choose to send the file with a modem, the Genigraphics print file will automatically be saved to the WINDOWS subdirectory. There is no way to redirect this print file destination.

More Information:

When installed, PowerPoint places the following statement in the GRAFLINK.INI file:

DefaultPath= :

This path does not reflect the actual location of the GENI subdirectory. It is ignored by PowerPoint and GraphicsLink. Thus, changing it will not redirect the Genigraphics print file.

Note: The print file will be the same regardless of whether it is created using the modem or disk option. The file size will be identical with either selection.
