attachment created in another application. You rotate the document page instead of the attachment.
Note that you should not adjust the paper orientation for the graybar page once you exit the Graybar
Wizard; the bands of the graybar page do not adjust to reflect a change.
Duplexing: Select the duplexing options for the document. The duplexing options available depend on
the PPD you selected for the document. Note that duplexing options apply only to normal pages since
these are the only pages that can print. If you want to print simplex and duplex in the same document,
and your printer supports switching between simplex and duplex in the same job, you can set the
duplexing options on a page-by-page basis using the Duplexing option in the Page properties dialog box.
If your printer does not support switching between simplex and duplex in the same job, you can
simulate the switch by setting the duplexing option here and printing a blank page on the back of each
page that you want to print simplex. If you select Default, no command is issued to the printer
regarding duplexing for this document; the document uses the printer setting in effect at execution
time. Consult the PlanetPress Talk lesson related to duplex mode for an example of the latter approach.
6. In the Graybar Wizard, click Margins and set the top, bottom, right, and left page margins, and the
border options for the graybar page.
Left: Enter the left margin, relative to the left edge of the physical page.
Right: Enter the right margin, relative to the right edge of the physical page.
Top: Enter the top margin, relative to the top edge of the physical page.
Bottom: Enter the bottom margin, relative to the bottom edge of the physical page.
Border: Select to display a border along the margins of the graybar page. Use the Line width box to
specify the width of the line the border uses.
Line width: Enter the width of the line you want to use as the border. Units are typographical points.
This option is available only when you select Border.
7. Click Bar definitions and define each bar that makes up the band that repeats to create the graybar
page.
Bar list: Lists all the bars that make up the band, in the order in which they appear in the band. The
band can contain a maximum of ten bars. The default band contains a gray and white bar. The height of
a band is the sum of the heights of all bars. PlanetPress Design creates the graybar page by repeating
this band from top to bottom on the page.
8. In the Graybar Wizard, click Finish.
The graybar page contains a set of box objects, where each box object is a bar on the graybar page.
The graybar page also contains a data selection object that displays a page of the sample data file or a
set of data selection objects that together reference a record set. If the single data page fits neatly on to
the graybar page, you may not need to adjust these data selection objects. If this is not the case you
can adjust or delete any or all of these data selections, as well as add new data selection objects to the
page.
