Subject: Re: <lingo-l> printing a large text file
Sounds like you'll need to read the PrintOMatic documents and do some more robust and elegant layout of your pages of text.

printable and appear on multiple pages. I have a registered printomatic.
What I did until now was I had to divide the text into a few text members.
Otherwise printomatic simply shrinks the whole text onto one paper...
The problem with this way is 1) it's hard to divide up the text. 2) the text
comes out different sizes, depending on the amount of text in each file /
page. Is there an easier way?
Until now I've been using the following code:
set doc = new(xtra "PrintOMatic")
if not objectP(doc) then exit
append doc, castLib "manual", TRUE
if doJobSetup (doc) = TRUE then print doc
set doc = 0
