RE: MI Help with Canadian Provincial Abbreviations

Hi again - Checking into it a little further I find that Canada Post lists NT for both Northwest Territories and Nunavut. If NU is Nunavut, what is the source for that? Canad Post link: http://www.canadapost.ca/CPC2/addrm/addrguide/prov_symbols.html Lindsay Giles -Original Message

RE: MI Help with Canadian Provincial Abbreviations

Hello Dara- 1) The correct spelling for it is "Nunavut" 2) To the best of my knowledge, they are both NT - all addresses I have seen within Nunavut carry NT as their descriptor. I could be wrong but I have not seen any other code. Lindsay Giles Senior GIS Analyst AXYS Env

y. 4. Watch the use of rotated text. Corel 7 will take a text string rotated 35 degrees and rotate each letter 35 degrees around its individual centre while leaving the text string itself at zero degrees (horozontal). Keeping these in mind, I have had consistent results. Lindsay Giles Seni

Dave - You will have to use Adobe acrobat distiller to generate the PDF file. You use a PostScript printer driver to print the layout to a file and Distiller creates a PDF file from that PS print file. Cheers, Lindsay Giles Senior GIS Analyst AXYS Environmental Consulting Ltd Suite 600-555
