Non-saving of page setup on windows.

[lonntj]

We have a multi-user setup with two Macs and two Windoze boxes, the files are hosted on one of the Macs. When a windows machine opens one of the files, it ALWAYS reverts to landscape orientation, so that when a user prints the record (without using the script that changes the page setup back to portrait), its screwed up. I do have a script that changes the page setup back and prints the record, but people usually forget to use that script and just hit ctl-P.

On the Macs, if I change the page setup to portrait, close and re-open the file, that change is preserved, however that is not the case on the windows machines. Any Ideas?

You'll need a page setup script for each OS. I use something like this to branch to the correct page setup subscript:

If[ Status(CurrentPlatform) = -1 ]

Perform Script [ Page Setup Portrait - OSX - 100% ]

Else

Perform Script [ Page Setup Portrait - OS9 - 100% ]

End If

Each page setup has to be stored in separate scripts. You could continue branching for more OS versions, look up the Status(CurrentPlatform) function for more.

I have the users' priveleges set to not allow full menu access. This disables printing from the menu or Cmd-P.

Page Setup can be stored for each OS in the same script step. However the settings must be set for each step individually in the relevant OS. So to save for MacOS, Mac OS X and Windows, you'll need to open the file in 3 different OSs and save the script three times.
