I've been using OOo for ages now, and it's done well -- very well in fact -- by me. But I seem to have reached a bit of a no-go area.
I'm trying to make an A5 landscape booklet, containg both graphics and text, and which particularly needs to include some postscript produced by another program (abcm2ps, a music typesetter, converted to epsi). The problem centres round that the PS, while landscape, is oriented sideways to print on "portrait" paper - it prints correctly of course. On past occasions, I've just dropped the PS in place; the (rather nasty) epsi preview is shown on-screen, but the printout is correct (at least to a postscript device!) and gives the full-resolution needed. The problem now is the rotation........ My intention had originally been to use writer, format pages as A5 landscape, drop in the PS and rotate it. But writer won't rotate images (it's also pretty limited with other image operations too, like alignment) . I've had to switch to draw -- but now I lose all the stylist stuff, at least as far as text goes, along with headers, footers, (decent) page numbering, indexing...... /and/ I'm having to work sideways because even draw produces incorrect rotated postscript output (the bounding box looks rotated, afaict the content is just scaled to fit the new bb). I've hunted round for something simple to rotate the epsi before inclusion, but without luck (the obvious perl modules off cpan, surprisingly, are buggy). I would dearly have loved too, to be using a master document, which would eminently suit the structure of the booklet. But that only works with text documents, not draw documents. One very disappointed bunny here. I'll make it work - but this problem should be /so/ much easier. If anyone can suggest options, I'd be grateful. :-( :-( -- various incoming sites blocked because of spam; see http://www.scottsonline.org.uk for a list and openpgp crypto key (key fingerprint 2ACC 9F21 5103 F68C 7C32 9EA8 C949 81E1 31C9 1364) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
