The following messages provide you with late breaking
information on Garden Planner features.  Please review them
carefully, as you will learn important things about how the
program operates, and other pertinent information.


Non-Rectangular Planting Areas
------------------------------
 
Non-Rectangular planting areas may sometimes have difficulty 
in keeping planted graphics inside of them.  If this occurs, 
simply redraw the plant grid using one of the standard tools 
like the planting tool, rectangle, rounded rectangle or elipse.


Overflow of Graphics in Non-Rectangular Planted Areas
-----------------------------------------------------

Changing a planted area to another plant option will sometimes 
leave parts of the old plant option spilling outside of the 
borders.  You can go to the "Edit\Repaint" menu option and it 
will redraw your planted area correctly.  


Printing with Laser Printers or Ink Jet Printers
------------------------------------------------

Laser printers and Ink Jet printers have "unprintable regions" 
around the edge of the page.  Typically, the unprintable region 
is between 1/8 & 1/4 of an inch.  Each individual printer has 
its own alignment characteristics, which can affect these 
unprintable regions.  Therefore, if you are trying to center a 
drawing on a page for one of these printers, it may require some 
experimentation on your part to determine what type of margins 
you need to give your drawing in order to center it on a page.

The page size that you see in the drawing layout dialog indicates 
the maximum printable area for your currently selected default 
printer for the current paper size.  It is recommended that you 
leave 1/8" to 1/4" margins around the drawing.  Once your drawing 
is finished, you can group the whole drawing and move it up, 
down, right, or left to center it with respect to your individual 
printer.  


Labels and Planted Areas over Page Breaks
-----------------------------------------

If your label in a planted area spills over a page break, some 
printer drivers require more "unprintable regions" in those areas, 
and may not print all of the characters of the label.

To correct it, select and move the label to the right or left of 
the page break.
