I've never bothered to use them, but from a quick play in PageMaker 7
(and 6.5 is probably the same) shows that Printer Styles are saved in
the file "Printer Styles" inside the "RSRC" folder - that folder should
be in the same folder as the PageMaker application itself.
You can't actually im****t / ex****t them in PageMaker itself and I don't
know of any external utility or plug-in that does it. You can copy the
file to the same folder on another Mac (and probably copy the Windows
PC file to the same directory on another Windows PC), BUT there are two
problems if you do that:
- replacing the existing file will also remove any
existing Printer Styles, leaving you with JUST the
ones in the new file,
and
- Printer Styles rely on the options set for a
specific printer driver, so they are unlikely to
work properly when transfered to another Mac (or
Windows PC) which has a different printer.
