1976.0. "Double Spacing in Print Style" by WAYOUT::CLARKE (The Cat in the Hat comes back.) Wed Dec 16 1992 14:40

What is the Double Spacing field on the print sytle supposed to do.
I cannot get it to do anything using LN03, Postscript and HP print styles.

The manual says;

"Specifies whether the item will be printed out double spaced. Some types of 
documents cannot be double spaced."

Does double space mean double line spacing, which I can achieve using these print
styles with a left margin tab of D in the ruler, or is it supposed to be some
kind of s t r e t c h e d  word spacing ?

What types of documents cannot be double spaced ( I may be able to answer this 
myself once double space is defined for me ) ?

I know this query is WPS-PLUS'sy but thought the ALL-IN-1 Conference a more 
appropriate place as you do not have print styles in WPS-PLUS.

Thanks

1976.1	Only works for ASCII documents	JONPC1::Button	Jon Button @ REO	`Thu Dec 17 1992 11:15`	9
	Aston, Double spacing means double line spacing, NOT s t r e t c h e d w o r d s. It is only possible to do this with ASCII documents. The output from the WPS-PLUS formatter for WPS-PLUS documents is in a format which is not possible to be double spaced by the printer. As you say, double spacing can be achieved in WPS-PLUS documents using the D ruler setting. Jon
1976.2	Creates Print Job with /SPACE	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4A	`Mon Jan 04 1993 11:57`	13
	Specifying Double spacing in the print style creates a VMS print job with the DOUBLE_SPACE attribute. The /SPACE qualifier on the DCL PRINT command does the same thing. The double spacing is performed by the VMS print symbiont while the listing file is being printed. Because this operation is performed during printing it is not specific to particular types of documents. In comparison the WPS-PLUS D ruler setting is specific to WPS-PLUS documents. Also, the double spacing is performed when the document is formatted, and not when it is printed. Richard

	This seems like a big oversight to me - it means that it is impossible to toggle between double line spaced and normally spaced without changing every ruler in a document ! SPR time...
