Hi :) Being wiki-pages means it's possible for anyone to contribute. I like the variety of having some articles quite long but others being just really tiny snippets. So far it's all the work of just 1 chap but i am sure he would be willing to help people with wiki-mark-up if they did join in

Hello, Also you may have a scale option in your printer driver. But this is vendor dependent. We have this option in Canon drivers for iRC5045, but not for Xerox WorkCenter 5330 (our photocopiers/printers). The PDF option is 2 steps but universal, as Preview.app will then be able to scale

All, Looks like I will be keeping my data in Calc for a while - until we have a better idea of what we want (changing a database is a lot of work). However, I need to do some charts, and I have not figured out how to get Calc to give me what I want, so I need a pointer or two. I want line

HI :) I don't think it's law. I think it's suggested best-practice and general guidelines. A bit like the Ferengi's Rules of Acquisition or the pirate's code, hopefully. Plenty of people will argue against using it, or make excuses or plead ignorance or just not do it = However it's still a

Hi :) Is that 22 inches by 17 inches??!!?? That is a huge document! Is it huge and trying to print to hundreds of pages or does it just go over a little bit and try to print to 4 or less pages? Print Preview is handy for figuring that out. If it is just a little bit over then simply choosing a
