Printing
There are two printing modes
available.
Text Only -
allows you to print just
the text from a page. All graphics
will be ignored.
Graphics Dump -
This will print the
whole page including all text and
graphics.
When printing in 'Text Only' mode
two pages of the magazine will usually
fit on a single sheet of paper.
However on some printers this won't be
possible. The '2 Pages/Single Sheet'
gadget gives you the choice of
printing one or two pages per single
sheet of paper.
Note that when you are printing a
whole article section or the entire
magazine printing will always begin
with the page you are currently on.
This means that if you have to abort
printing part way through you can
resume from where you left off.
Saving Text
You can save the text from a page
or article as a standard ASCII file.
You can then load this file into a
Text Editor or Word Processor.
Saving Graphics
You can save a page as an IFF
picture. You can then load this
picture into a paint program such as
DeluxePaint.
Text Search
This command allows you to search
the magazine for a particular word or
sentence. You can choose to search the
current page article section or entire
magazine. The 'Case Sensitive' gadget
allows you to distinguish between
upper and lowercase characters.

memory used by the magazine. A small
window will be displayed in the top
right corner of the Workbench
screen.To return to the magazine click
in this window once with the left
mouse button and then once with the
right button.
