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. Tyler -----Original

Message----- 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. Greg -----

Sides Footer & Square in Header 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 |
