I've created overlays in the past from Microsoft Word using IBM's AFP printer driver with the output type set to "medium overlay" and they've worked pretty good. Yesterday I tried creating one and the vertical lines are sometimes where they should be and other times off a bit. In other words, what should be a vertical line has a section in the middle that's too far to the left or right. The Word document is a big table laid out like a form. The lines are the edges of the table cells. Some are set to print and others aren't, thus making the boxes of the form. They look fine when printed from word but once converted to an overlay they are distorted. To create it I print to a file using the IBM 240 driver. I copy it to a folder in QDLS (yea, it's the old way of doing it but it's the way that's always worked). Next, a CPYFRMPCD to get it into a physical file. Finally, a CRTOVL. The overlay is assigned to a printer file and the spool file is generated. Since I made my last overlay we've upgraded from V5R1 to V5R3 on the iSeries and gone from Office 97 to Office 2003 on the PC. It is running Windows 2000. Any ideas? We are a couple months behind on PTF's but will get current this weekend. I did try downloading the latest 240 driver from IBM but it didn't help. Any ideas?
