Report form xxx to yyy ASCII - ref thread1252-1364225

Another tip - make sure the fields along each line are exactly in Line (all same Top value).

Another nuisance - the line width is limited by the printer - if you use the Generic Text printer, you can have longer lines but no Font and the default 17cpi doesn't work as well as Courier.

Thanks to previous correspondents!

Bill,

default 17cpi doesn't work as well as Courier.

True, but keep in mind the default font will vary according to the printer. On my old laserjet, it's Courier (not Courier New) 10 cpi, for instance.

In any case, couldn't you change the default by sending an escape sequence?

Mike
