Creating the square
in Paint or any other drawing software is no problem. It is when you paste in the picture that
you have drawn and then add text along with that picture, that is where you
have problems. They wish to have
the square about the size of 3 lines of text, and also wish to have the text in
alignment with that square. The
only way I have been able to do this, as Ken stated, is to create a complete
Square & Text bitmap, and then inserting that bitmap into the header. I was hoping that a wmf file might help,
but creates the same problem. Unfortunately, Kim does not know how to use Paint very well,
and seems unwilling to try to learn. Jeff

Message----- Regarding
the square to be put in the ballot heading, I am working on this today. I am creating the square in Paint. Per Ken's advice below, I will test it
prior to e-mailing the file to Wyandotte. I intend to finish this today so they
can copy it into their Images file. Tyler -----Original
Message----- Wyandotte County Kansas currently has Gems version
1-11-2. They would like to have a
newer version of Gems that can do the Vote Both Sides footer for them. Which version of 1-16, (this is the
version with the footer option), is the most tested so we can send this on to
them??? Good
question. 1.16 is theoretically
still in testing, but its really up to you guys to give the green light to call
it official. The 1.16 bugtracks
have quieted down lately. I am not
sure whether that is because it is stable or because people aren't testing
it. Its probably pretty solid at
this point. They also have another issue, where they have to put
in a square at the top of their ballot along with their ballot heading. Is there a way to create a wmf file
with a picture of a square, so they can add this into their
heading??? You can
create the wmf with Corel Draw. I think Mike prefers Adobe
Illustrator. For something as trivial as a square box you could probably
get away with a bmp created with the Paint accessory. If they want to
desk top publish the whole heading with text and the box, then they should use
a wmf though. Given Greg's recent hand.bmp bugtrack I would try it out
myself before forwarding anything to Wyandotte. Ken |
