[Prosper-announce] new to prosper - pdf document is oddly cropped

[Elizabeth B. <br...@uc...>]

Hi list members,

I'm new to prosper (and this list). I've been making a few simple 
presentations in prosper, and experimenting with the included style files 
(e.g., default.sty).

However, I've noticed that, when I create PDF slides using prosper, and the 
text is set to a given size, the text is always cropped (that is, the words 
run off the slide).

Do you have any idea what's wrong here? Is there any way to get prosper to 
wrap words? Why are my lines getting cropped in the PDF?

I tried changing the \NewSlideStyle and \PDFCroppingBox options, but this 
didn't help the problem (I'm not sure if I did this correctly)..

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Many thanks.

Elizabeth 

[Prosper-announce] Prosper and listings

[Auri V. <au...@fu...>]

Dear Prosper's users,

I am trying to use the listings package with prosper...

In the Prosper Faq I found a solution to use listings in this way:

\documentclass[pdf]{prosper}
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}

\newsavebox{\tmp}
\begin{lrbox}{\tmp}%
\begin{lstlisting}
Comme nous l'avons déjà vu lors de la présentation du \today,
Bib\TeX{} est un outil magnifique pour la génération automatique de
bibliographies.
\end{lstlisting}
\end{lrbox}

\overlays{2}{
\begin{slide}{toto}
\usebox{\tmp}
\end{slide}
}
\end{document}


The above example it is ok. It is working. But if I try to use
the command \lst instead of \begin{lstlisting} text 
\end{lstlisting}, I got the following erro message:

*******************************************************************
...
(C:\texmf\tex\latex\amsfonts\umsb.fd)

l.20 \end{slide}

? ...

*******************************************************************

Here is the LaTeX code I am trying to use. file.pas can be any other file.

-------------------------------------------
\documentclass[%
pdf,

]{prosper}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}

\newsavebox{\tmpd}
\begin{lrbox}{\tmpd}%
\lstinputlisting[lastline=4]{file.pas}%
\end{lrbox}

%Slide tentando utilizar lstinputlisting
\begin{slide}{TEMP B}
\usebox{\tmpd}
\end{slide}

\end{document}
-------------------------------------------

Anyone can help me?

Thanks,

Auri

[Prosper-announce] Transitions not working

[<js...@op...>]

Greetings:

I am using  latex version e-TeX (Web2C 7.5.2) 3.141592-2.1 on a Mac G5
with dvips -t a4 and pstopdf.  Everything seems to work when viewing 
from
Acroread v6.0 except the transations.  Any guidance would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks.

[Prosper-announce] cropping in prosper

[Bobby M. N. <bm...@nc...>]

Hi,
    Had the same problem with prosper and the "-paper A4" didn't work for me
too. However
"dvips -P pdf -t A4 -z" worked.

hth
Bobby...





 Ok, papersize is the problem.  Is there anyway to configure prosper for
 letter format?  Else, printing slides is an issue where A4 format is not
 available.

 If this is not possible, how can I get xpdf to show up A4 properly?  I
 run the following:

 latex glade.tex
 dvipdf glade.dvi
 xpdf -paper A4 glade.pdf

 But the problem of croping still persist. :(

 Hans Deragon

[Prosper-announce] WikiProsper

[Laurent J. <lja...@fy...>]

Hello,

As explained in a previous mail, I have finally realized a WikiWikiWeb project 
dedicated to Prosper on www.tuxfamily.org (with phpwiki). 

<snip>
A WikiWikiWeb is a site where everyone can collaborate on the content (through 
the browser with some clicks).
</snip>

This wiki is available here:
	http://wikiprosper.tuxfamily.org

It doesn't contains many things currently. You will find there
	- a retranscripting of the main Prosper documentation
	- screenshots of the main themes
	- some (currently only two) howtos (inspired from the Mailing list 
discussions)
	- some useful links.
	- explanations on the What, Why, and How about Wiki and its uses.

As said above, a wiki is mainly a collaborative work, so, feel you free to add 
there your contributions: 
	howtos, 
	links, 
	hints, 
	tips and tricks, 
	questions, 
	bugs,
	wishes, 
	...

The most it will be done, the most it will be a good tool for every prosper 
users (to reference for instance in answers to some prosper user questions on 
this mailing list).

Regards,
Laurent.

[G. <Fre...@ep...>]

Hello Virgil,


I am afraid you did not choose the right list for posting your mail:
prosper-annonce is mainly for announcing new releases, while
prosper-users is for general discussions about prosper (and also
asking for help).


Anyway. It is possible to use both Y&Y and distiller to create your
slides provided you specify the YandY and distiller options in
\documentclass.

[Prosper-announce] Getting started with Prosper

[Virgil S. <vs...@sy...>]

First, I have looked over some of the documentation on Prosper and also
scanned the
archived messages.

I am a teacher and have been using the seminar package for many years in

my lectures. This has worked quite well; but, now that I have had a
glimpse
of Prosper I would like to convert to this package.

I am using the commercial package Y&YTeX on a Windows 2000 platform.
This has a a very good GUI and works quite well with the Seminar
package.
However, it has it's own DVI and Postscript processors --- DVIWindo and
DVIPSOne.

I mainly perform the following two tasks in generating lecture material:

  1) Overheads (transparencies) for my class lectures,
  2) PDF files (containing these transparencies) for posting on the Web.

Of  course the overheads are produced via the Seminar package and I use
Adobe Distiller (5.0) to generate PDF files from the Postscript files
produced
by DVIPSOne.

I would be very interested in knowing how I could accomplish this with
Prosper. Are there Prosper users running Y&YTeX?

Dear Prosper users,

I have just released version 1.00.4 of Prosper on SourceForge. This is

It is also the last version before version 1.01.01, which should include
most of the
suggestions made by users either directly to me or on the prosper-users
list.

Best regards,

Frederic.

N.B.: the version available on CTAN will not be upgraded until version
1.01.01. =

Best regards,
