NEED TO CONVERT PRINT MACRO FROM DOS TO VERSION 9 1

[wendymason]

Hi,

I need to convert this macro to run under Lotus 123 ver 9. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

{GOTO}A1~
{WINDOWSOFF}{PANELOFF}
{GETLABEL "When the printer is ready press [ENTER] to proceed ",ANSWER}~
{INDICATE Printing file}
/wgdpn1
qq
/pprB1~
r.{END}{DOWN}{R 8}~
oml0~mr136~
mt0~mb0~
p66~bcA1~
s\027\015~
qagpcaq~
{WINDOWSON}{PANELON}
{INDICATE}

You can convert the macro from DOS to Windows.
This can get you started:

{EDIT-GOTO A1}
{WINDOWSOFF}{PANELOFF}
{GET-LABEL "When the printer is ready press [ENTER] to proceed ",ANSWER}
{INDICATE Printing file}
{SET "Printer-Setup-Name";"PrinterName"}
{SELECT B1}
{END}{SELECT-DOWN}
{SELECT-RIGHT 8}
{SET "Print-Margin-Left";1}
{SET "Print-Margin-Right";1}
{PRINT "selection"}
{WINDOWSON}{PANELON}
{INDICATE}
{BREAK}

The printer settings have to be set by experiment. The margins are in inches from the left and right edges. The compressed print will be done by selecting a font-size.
