Tim, As far as I can tell, you described the problem quite accurately. The Constellation top is tucked under the Revolution/Mac OSX menubar at the top so I can't drag it anywhere. I'm on a 14 Mac Powerbook too And when I restart it goes right under the menu bar as well. Michael You mean

Oh dear, this isn't supposed to be difficult. Maybe I'll get used to the new documentation format. So far, it seems to have evolved from terse to overwhelming. All I want to do is put a clickable link in a field that will open a web browser and navigate to the URL specified in the link.

Hi All, Could someone please let me know the details of this property? I have a few stacks that run under MacOS 9 and may need to save them under MacOS X and I don't want to inadvertently save them under RR 2.7 and then find that I can't change them back to the 2.6 format. Thanks a lot All

Please clarify incompatibility re 2.7

2006-02-14 Thread Timothy Miller
Hi, Jacque's previous message regarding incompatible stack formats worries me. It's probably no big deal, but, better safe than sorry. If I have been running my stacks without problem on version 2.6.1, in Macintosh OS X, and I now upgrade to 2.7, what kind of problems, if any, will I have

If anyone is exploring possibilities for medical billing with RR... I have made a card that simulates a HCFA form. Set the printmargins appropriately, print card from a,b to x,y and it registers precisely. Most HCFA fields have corresponding fields on the card. A few HCFA fields I never use

Hi Swami, I noticed no one replied directly to you. I'd guess that revPrintText has the same underlying problem as revPrintField. Does revPrintText work right if the printed output is one page or less? If so, that's a clue. The other messages on this thread have probably given you some

importing graphic objects?

2006-01-12 Thread Timothy Miller
Hi, Is it possible to make a graphic object with, say, Illustrator, save it, and import it into RR? Will RR make necessary conversions? For example, change a Bezier into something RR can digest? If so, once imported, can I manipulate the graphic with RR's usual commands for manipulating

It's me, the OP on this thread. A wise and generous soul has sent me a private message, including a model script necessary to print fields more than one printed page long, on a Windows machine. I'd suppose this has been discussed to death, so I'll let it rest. I wonder if this is a sign

As you were. Inadequate testing led to my earlier post about how to automate Rev apps in OS X. For reasons I don't yet fully understand, other apps will launch this way but Rev standalones don't, at least not predictably or reliably. I'm going to investigate the reason. I was wrong is the
