To the fellowship of MI5.5+,
I would like to warn you about the behaviour that is detailled below. It has
been filed as a BUG late last week and it seems to be happening only with
the latest patch I know of (55026).
Here is the bug:
I want to prepare a layout in a landscape format.
First part: layout does not recognize page setup parameters.
1 - page setup, set to landscape
2 - open layout. It shows a portrait page.
3 - back to page setup. Set to landscape again
4 - layout becomes landscape. Good
Second part: new setup (in same session)
5 - close first layout, open another one. Opens portrait.
6 - back to page setup. Set to landscape again
7 - Message window : "page margins must not equal or exceed the page
dimensions"
8 - nothing doing. Bad
Third part: changing printer
All my misery started with a very plain HP500. I had a driver (only the
driver, alas!) for a HP2500DesignJet etc.. Restarting MI, I repeated the
first part with the addition of a different printer choice and a new sheet
size.
9 - page setup, set to landscape, select HP2500, format A0
10 - open layout. It shows HP500, portrait, format 8.5x11
11 - back to page setup. Set to landscape, HP2500, A0 again
12 - layout opens ok.
13 - close first layout, open another one. Opens HP500, 8.5x11, portrait,
with the added feature that the margins are those of the A0 format (which
does not leave much room for printing on a commercial format).
14 - any change in the page setup will result in the above message about
"the margins...".
In a word, Layout does not recognize the choices made in page setup, does
not remember them from one layout to the other but for the margins!!!
