Letter Gothic typefaces using printer commands from a S(Setup)
string, or embedded in the worksheet using the "||" command while

Landscape Orientation").
5. Printed colors may not match those selected from within the WYSIWYG
color palette in graphics edit mode. WYSIWYG allows you to choose from
a graphic palette of 224 colors or 16 text colors. These colors may be
viewed on screen. However, only a subset of these colors can actually
be printed from the application.
6. Lotus Printgraph exhibits a problem where some colors may not print
correctly. For example, a blue bar in a chart may print in white
(clear). Changing the "Range colors" may correct the problem.E
