RE: Wyandotte County Kansas - Vote Both Sides Footer & Square in Header



Put the bitmap in a one-column header which is the lowest numbered header.  Then, create the “main header” with text which is also a one-column header (given that Wyandotte uses a three-column layout) specifying “Next Column” or “Specify Column - Front – Column 1”.  Subsequent headers can be created at the three column width (“Current” placement should work, else try Specifying again).  As long as vertical and horizontal lines on the first two headers are turned off, they will appear to be in the same header.  See attached database.

They do not wish to have the Text positioned underneath the box.  They wish to have it next to the box.

The square can be created by using a header with no text, choosing top, bottom, right and left draw lines, size it and position it.

This is used for the poll worker's signature up here.  A second header with the text is created and positioned underneath the box.

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.

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.
