I had a crazy problem with overhead. I had been working overheads fine... then all of a sudden I received an error message " %DVC-W-OFFPAGE, cannot set text outside page boundaries " This was a simple basic overhead page. I had not set page boundaries. It passed thru to [printing file] and proceeded to give me a blank page. WHAT HAPPENED?? After one half hour of banging my head against the wall ( I kept getting the same message with other files) I passed all my input over to another person (on another machine) who processed the page with NO PROBLEM. I am somehow back in business. Was It A FLUKE???

I would have to know if there are different versions of DOCUMENT on the different machines? What base level(s) are you using? Did you also get messages from %TEX ? Do you have any local logical name differences? Check the definition of DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS on each machine. | |||||

Did you define a symbol for $DOCUMENT/DEVICE=HORIZONTAL_OFFSET=xxx in order to move some output on the page, and then use that symbol for other documents? Particularly, if you did that with a value too large, you could push the text completely off the page but would not get errors out of the text formatter, only the device converter. (Label this one a long shot.) Mark |
