[QuickTacBeta] Quicktack Help

[Peter Sullivan]

Roger,

To add to what George has said, DBT "infers" the resolution at which to
emboss the image from the image size.

However, it sometimes infers something other than what you intend.  In this
case, position your cursor at the graphic and select Layout, Picture, and
then the resolution you want.  (The menu items are listed as for Index
embosser resolutions, but also work for ET embossers.)  The hard part of
this procedure is positioning the cursor at the graphic.  Ironically, this
is most easily done in coded view.  Place the cursor just before the [gd]
code.

If your image occupies the full page, you may also need to disable headers,
footers, and page numbering in DBT.  These can be re-enabled following the
picture.  DBT does not automatically suppress headers, footers, and page
numbering to make room for a large graphic.  Instead, it might omit the
graphic.  So you'll want to watch out for that.

- Peter

George,

Having just read your reply to Lisa, could I check with you an additional
point in respect of the .sig file.

If you import a .sig file into DBT, does one need to change any of the
controls or does DBT work out automatically what to do?

Regards,

Roger.

Hi Lisa,

As Peter may be heading to CSUN, I'll try to answer this one.

.DXG is the default format when you save a file in QuickTac.
(DuXbury Graphic)   You can also "Save As" and select the
alternative .sig format.

At the current time, DBT itself has not been modified to accept the import
of DXG files, hence you need to save your QT files as .sig files.

Hi Peter,

I couldn't find .DXG. Is it perhaps Duxburys own XML?

Regards,
Lisa
