ROTATED TEXT IN PAGEMAKER: You want it, I want it.
jwhiting

This is a quick and dirty way to put rotated text into PageMaker if 
you_re using a PostScript printer.  Create a text only file of the for
m below.  The first 6 lines are a header and must be at the top of the
file.  Use ResEdit, DiskTop or similar utility to change the creator
type to EPSF.  You_ll get a full 8-1/2x11 gray box on the page but it
will print out correctly.  Start by playing with this file.  
PostScript will ignore my comment lines that begin with %.
