Hi Bob, I've got a Panasonic KXP-1121, also WP 6.0 for DOS, and checked it. With my Printer combination I go "Create Graphic Box", "Create Text" and then, right at the bottom it says "Press ALT-F9 to Rotate", nect to where it says "Press F7 to Exit". I almost missed it, went looking for it because of the discussion here. If your's doesn't show it, it could be the printer. I've heard from a friend of mine that dotmatrix printers like mine are sometimes more lenient of these funnies one want to do than Lasers ;-)) Groetnis (=cheers) Deon Team OS/2 --- timEd/2 1.10+ * Origin: Diakonos BBS, Herold, Langkloof, RSA +27-441-81652 (5:7104/40) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: DEL00006 Date: 10/16/96 From: BOB SAWYER Time: 07:34am \/To: DEON STRYDOM (Read 6 times) Subj: Mixed Rotations DS>Hi Bob, >I've got a Panasonic KXP-1121, also WP 6.0 for DOS, and checked it. >With my >Printer combination I go "Create Graphic Box", "Create >Text" and then, right at the bottom it says "Press ALT-F9 >to Rotate", nect to where it says "Press F7 to Exit".

You can rotate portions of text easily by going into graphics and typing the text in "create text". You can rotate 90 degrees either way or 180. Other angles are possible, but tricky, using the Equation Editor. I know it's been in WordPerfect Magazine, but which issue???

By the time I got to the second book I was having no problems with graphics placement with WP 5.1+. ;=) I was even able to use "character" position placement in several areas where I wanted to use a large (1" tall) French brace } to enclose several lines of typed names (wills). (Ain't I the dandy?) Of course with 5.1+ you don't really do much "graphics", just graphics boxes where you cut/paste (with scissors & glue pot). But, I do have to agree that graphics placement is much easier with WP 7.0W; just click/drag for both position and size. * OLX 2.2 * don_nickell@nm-us.campus.mci.net --- Maximus 2.02 * Origin: Selective On-Line (tm) - Santa Fe, NM - (505) 473-9765 (1:15/11) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: DEM00002 Date: 10/17/96 From: BOB SAWYER Time: 08:22am \/To: BILL WHITE (Read 6 times) Subj: Mixed Rotations BW> You can rotate portions of text easily by going >into graphics and typing the text in "create text". >You can rotate 90 degrees either way or 180.

Once you've done Ctrl-F5, 1, 3, it prompts you for a file name and won't let you use F5 to select the file, a real pain if you've got several files you want to load or can't remember the file name(s). --- Via Silver Xpress V4.3dP [Reg] --- QM v1.30 * Origin: FOG-Line - Ankeny Iowa - 515-964-7937 (1:290/627.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: DEN00000 Date: 10/17/96 From: AUKE REITSMA Time: 08:59pm \/To: BRUCE WILSON (Read 7 times) Subj: Mixed Rotations Hi Bruce, On 15 Oct 96, 23:53, Bruce Wilson wrote to Auke Reitsma BW>> I think the 4P was the first HP able to print both landscape BW>> and portrait on the same page; AR>> That happens not to be the case ;-) I know for certain I've AR>> done that on a IIIp, and I may have done it on an old Series AR>> II.
