Problem

Solutions: A customer wanted to change redlined text to reversed text on an Apple LaserWriter printer. This method changes Redline to reverse unless Redline has a font substituted, in which case it uses the substituted font. These steps will work on any PostScript printer. 1. Enter the PTR Program. 2. Retrieve the appropriate .PRS file. 3. Press Alt-F8 to display the Variables. 4. Type prologue and the program will go down to the prologue. Press Enter twice. 5. Press Ctrl-Enter to get to the editing box. 6. Cursor down to the /_rshow. (It is quite a ways down the prologue.) 7. Change the /_rshow, /_red, and /_redshow sections in the prologue text from .95 setgray to 0 setgray. This sets the background to black. 8. Change 0 0 0 setrgbcolor to 1 1 1 setrgbcolor in the /_rshow and /_redshow sections of the prologue. This sets the foreground color to white. The effect, of course, is reversed print. This method does disable normal redlined text. If a user needs both (in different documents) they could save two versions of the .PRS files from the PTR Program and create two printers, one with reversed for redlined and one with normal redlined text.
