but others do include the kludge which is FormatForPrinting,
the great difficulty you have now about working out exactly how many
pages are needed for a printout of a given field, and the fact that

I seem to remember one of the reasons for the complete graphics overhaul of

Are these printing issues among those being fixed in the next "bug-

Hi Graham,
Yeah, I use it on Windows for printing, and you do have to jump through some
hoops. As I recall, if you don't use it, your font metrics may be off and
you may not get what you think you're printing.

I am reluctantly using FormatForPrinting to gain control over exact
layout in Windows printouts. It seems to me an amazingly awkward
beast, requiring one to remove a stack from memory before setting

Hi Jacqueline & Jonathan,
Thanks both for your helpful ideas.
In the end, the best way I found was to have formatForPrinting on, and to
have the printing script reduce the textsize of each character in each field
before sending it to the printer. Thanks Jonathan for this suggestion.

Hi Chipp,
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately still no luck. With
formatForPrinting on the text still wraps earlier than it does on screen,
causing words at the bottom of the field to fall off the page. Similarly,
with formatForPrinting off, although vertically all the lines fit, I&#

Hi Everyone,
I've been having some trouble with FormatForPrinting on Windows. The
software I am working on is a worksheet-maker program, so I need to be able
to print cards with many different sizes of fields and text.
Printing is done by creating a new printing stack, copying the c

From the documentation:
"Comments:
...For the best appearance of printed cards in a stack, make sure the
stack is closed (and not in memory), then set the stack's
formatForPrinting property to true before opening the stack to print it."

Hi All
Has anyone ever had the problem where formatForPrinting with the
fixedLineHeight set to false makes the line height go huge. Making prinouts
that are meant to be on only one page print over several. I know the usual
(get new drivers) story but I'm wondering about other workarounds
