Re: Reading CD from PC burn

[Mervyn & Giuliana Bond]

Greg, the Help Menu offers the Ragtime 5 Reference and so doing a 
search there produced the page you referred to.
I explored the page sizes etc with the file received on a CD from a 
PC running XP but could not produce a functional document.   In the 
end I had to resort to visiting my son, put it on his PC, did the 
necessary editing and burning to a CD to take to the office tomorrow.


This afternoon I decided to try again on the Mac.  Up came the 
document saying it was in landscape in Page Setup but still only half 
the page visible.  I happened to click on the zoom button on the top 
right of the page - SHIZAM - the whole landscape page appeared and I 
could work on it.  So simple that I could not think why I had not 
tried it before.


Thank you for your investigations and thereby prompting me to 
persevere.  I hope you didn't waste too much of your time.  Ragtime 
is as you say a "pretty cool program" but clearly I have much to 
learn about it.

Regards
Merv

Hi

I downloaded Ragtime Solo (free version) to see if I could find a way. On
page 334 of RagTime 5 Reference.pdf it states,

 "This paper format dialog box panel is only available under Mac OS and only
for RagTime 5layout and master layout components." There's a few more lines
of text and a diagram.

A little further on it shows an icon that looks like 2 horizontal arrows on
top of each other facing opposite directions with a selection box beside it
that sets landscape view.

If you have troubles finding this setting you can read about it in more
detail in the manual I mentioned above. If you can't find the manual it can
be downloaded free from Ragtimes site or else contact me off list at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll organize sending you a copy
as an attachment or I can load it on one of my ftp servers for you.

If you still have trouble one of my customers is the Marketing guy for the
Australian distributor down in Leeton near Griffith, so he may be able to
help find out the best way to do this. It appears from my brief reading you
can also set these settings indepenently for pdf output  and another option
to make it match your printers settings. It actually appears to be a pretty
cool program with lots of features but the settings are confusing.

Hope this helps

 Greg, I took on your suggestion and a simple text document was sent

 diminish the image size so that the whole page is eventually visible
 but it is too small to work with.
 I checked the application default settings and there appears to no
 way that I can set the layout in landscape.
 Any other thoughts?

isolate whether it's a Ragtime problem or related to the burn process.

 However, when a Ragtime document in landscape is burned to a CD by

 the standard software built in as part of the XP operating system.

 One of my son's who also drives a PC running XP can see the total
 file.  He saved the document in ISO format using NERO and the same
 problem occurred on the iMac.

 I have only tried this for Ragtime so I do not know whether other
 applications using landscape produce the same result.

 Has anyone else encountered this problem?  If so, is there a solution?

Reading CD from PC burn

[Mervyn & Giuliana Bond]

I am using Ragtime 5.6.4 on my iMac 10.2 at home.  I can burn files 
to a CD using Toast and Hybrid format and these can be read with 
Ragtime 5.6 on a PC at the office whether in portrait or landscape 
layout.


However, when a Ragtime document in landscape is burned to a CD by 
the PC running XP I can only see the left hand half of the landscape 
page on my iMac at home.  The PC software for burning on the PC is 
the standard software built in as part of the XP operating system.


One of my son's who also drives a PC running XP can see the total 
file.  He saved the document in ISO format using NERO and the same
