RE: Printing down not across

Hello John, 

I don't know if there's a way to do that in a spool file. 

However if you're open to commercial solutions our iForms product can handle this.

subject: Printing down not across

I need to print a word on a form like this:

P
A
T
I
E
N
T

If I use the tstrte keyword, the word itself is rotated.  Is there a font that will do this?  Only other method I can think of is to use separate field positioning for each character.  But, so far, that has not worked well.  I can't get the vertical letters to line up and have uniform spacing.

We are on v5r4 - probably dead on that as well.
