Hello, I am the one who sent that script to Timothy... Sarah, if you look in the script for the print button in Task Mage, the script is in there (the print task section). It is very much oriented towards printing a task in Task Mage, and as such is not really written as a general purpose substitution for print field. It does contain the elements for creating such a thing, but it would take a bit of adaptation.
Actually, it contains the elements for printing the contents of all the fields on a card, including scrolling fields, at one time. Take care, Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Timothy Miller Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 10:19 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Printing problem on Windows machine Hi Sarah, Oops. This is my second reply. A few seconds ago, Eudora automatically snipped part of the quoted message, and I overlooked a typo. Here it goes again: ************************** The wise and generous person subscribes to the list. I think I'll hand your question off to him. He might prefer to post his own script. I'll quote the brief description he sent to me. I don't think he'd mind: Begin quote The way it basically works is to copy each field from the card to a printing stack. If a field is larger than a page, then it creates a second card in the printing stack and copies the large field to that card. It then divides up the text between the two fields in the printing stack. It continues this process until enough cards with copies of the large field have been created to hold all of the text without any of it getting lost. End quote If I understand the suggested script, the general approach is to use "Print Card" or "Print Stack" instead of printfield. As far as I can tell, Print Card works fine on my Windows machine, as long as I get the print rect and printmargins right. Printfield seems to work okay in Windows, as long as the printed output is no longer than one page. The printer goes crazy on page two and subsequent pages. I suppose this is a known problem. I can't get to bugzilla at the moment. There are probably other workarounds. For instance, it might be possible to shuttle lines in and out of the field, so it never contains more than one printable page, then use printfield repeatedly, then replace the original text when printing is completed. I don't know -- haven't tried that. Any other ideas? What a pain in the neck! It would be WAY easier to start using my Friendly Macintosh again. I had some other reasons to try my stacks on my Windows machine, but it might not be worth the trouble, and it's probably bad karma. I hope this was a teensy bit helpful.
