90.0. "Why can't I make one single PostScript file?" by TNPUBS::JONG (A desk's top publishing) Tue May 24 1994 11:56

    Unless I missed it, there's not base note devoted to the specific and
    common problem of seeing multiple PostScript files created when you try
    to build your book.  Let's put the discussion here.

90.1The three most common causes and their solutionsTNPUBS::JONGA desk's top publishingTue May 24 1994 12:0641
    Turning your Interleaf book into a single PostScript file isn't just
    convenient for distributing drafts, it's a requirement for EDMS
    submission.  If you can't make one single PostScript file, you can't
    submit your book!  When you see the operation making multiple .PS
    files, you must fix the problem.
    
    The first step in solving the problem is to print out each of the .PS
    files separately.  When you see where they split, you'll know which
    files to look at first.
    
    Here are some things known to cause Interleaf to create multiple files:
    
    * At least one file has a header page
    
    	You must check the print property sheet of each and every file 
    	(not the catalogs).  In the open document, find the Print menu
    	and select Print -> Props.  In the property sheet, click on
    
    		Header Page    No
    
    	There is no way to tell which file, or how many files, have header
    	pages.  You must check them all.
    
    * At least one file is printing duplex (or simplex)
    
    	All the files in the book must be set to print either duplex
    	(double-sided), which I recommend, or simplex (single-sided).
    	You must check the print property sheet of each and every file 
    	(not the catalogs).  In the open document, find the Print menu
    	and select Print -> Props.  In the property sheet, click on
    
    		Double Sided    Yes (recommended)
    
    * At least one file has a different page size
    
    	The new Interleaf 7x9 catalogs are set to true 7x9 page sizes,
    	which are required for EDMS submission.  this has caused some
    	confusion.  Every file in your book must have the same defined page
    	size.  In the open document, find the Page menu and select
    	Page -> Props.  In the property sheet, find the Page Width and Page
    	Height fields and set them accordingly.
