Print Song Book w/ 3.3 Hoster

[Dean Gadberry]

The way the songbook is set up in 3.3 is different than the older versions. I am trying to print it with Microsoft Word. When I look at the file I see many song numbers that are out of line and or they don't show all of the song number. I maybe don't know enough about Word to make the right changes. I have tried moving the margins, indents, tab stops but have not had the success that I need to get the book to look right. I have change the colum width, the space between colums and still no luck. I looked in the manual and was unable to find the help on this subject. Any one else have this problem? Any one have a answer for correcting this issue?

Beavis,
I down loaded the 3.301 update and I still have the same issues. That was not the fix to the problems. Still looking for the answer to the printing problems.

Run the "prepare Songbook function" first to generate a "clean" *.rtf file.

Then open it with MS Word and look in the lower left corner of your MSWord screen....

You'll see several icons... move your pointer over them and click on the one marked "pagelayout view"

This should show you how the pages will actually print.

I don't have the latest version(s) but what I seen in Word is what prints, and I don't have to do anything additional.

I have run "prepare song book function" close to a dozen times to get a "clean rtf file" and still have the same issues. MS Word is set up for "Print Layout View". The song numbers don't line up in either column and some of the numbers in both columns are so far out of line you can't read all of the number for some of the songs. Some of the lines with the Title, Artist, Song number rap around to the next line and they are fine but not all of them rap around when they should and just extend to far or for what the page and columns can handle. In prior version's of Hoster my Pages were correct. It was when the new version and update's came out and they added the style "210-01" and what ever else to the layout of the book that now I have these issues.
