As there are not MapBasic commands to access preferences, to detect what settings will be applied to a new layout window, create one, off screen if desired, detect its settings, and then close it back up: Layout Position (-100, -100) Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_NAME) Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_ORIENT) Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_COPIES) Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_PAPERSIZE) Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_LEFTMARGIN) Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_RIGHTMARGIN) Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_TOPMARGIN) Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_BOTTOMMARGIN) Close Window FrontWindow() ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
