Thanks Andre thats what I was suspecting if following the docs to the letter.
It doesn't seem like it should be necessary to save a file to disc
though just to print out !
For the printing which I have done, mostly unstyled text, I haven't
found any difference whether formatforprinting is on or off anyway.

With some fonts, the difference in sizing is so minimal that the output appears the same whether formatForPrinting is set or not. But with other fonts, there can be a dramatic difference. On Windows machines, it is usually a good idea to set formatForPrinting to true.

One way to get around the save-close-open restriction is to make a substack that will be used specifically for printing only, set its formatForPrinting to true, and save it with the mainstack. From then on, when you dump text into the substack's fields, they should use printer fonts rather than screen fonts.
Thanks Jacque, but seems to me that I miss something :
I had understood from the Doc that if the subStack has its formatForPrinting set to true, we must avoid to edit it (dump text in it) ?

Another way to deal with it, if you want to create printing stacks on the fly, is to set the formatForPrinting of the templateStack to true. Then when you create a new stack for printing, the property will already be set and will not require closing and reopening. This is how the Rev printing library does it.
