VIEWS provides full WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) printing support through the Windows printer drivers. Depending on your printer, you may print graphics, headings, character attributes, borders, or anything else which appears on the VIEWS screen.
You may print an entire infobase, all selected or tagged text in the infobase, or a range of records from the infobase. You may specify the margins for the printed page (default is one inch), as well as a header and footer for the printed text.
Page Setup
Before you print, you need to specify your Page Setup for your print job. To do this, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Choose File and Page Setup from the main menu. The Page Setup dialog will appear:
2. Specify the Margins for the printed page. Standard margins are 1" on all sides.
3. Select any items under Include that you wish to print in addition to the text. Graphics are often useful to print, but will take additional time.
4. If desired, select Header or Footer and enter in the text you wish to have appear in your Header or Footer. (For more information on Header and Footer, please refer to the appropriate section in the reference.)
5. When you have set up the page to your satisfaction, press ENTER or choose OK to exit the dialog. All of your settings will be saved.
Printing the Entire Infobase
To Print the entire infobase, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Choose File and Print from the main menu. The Print dialog will appear:
2. Choose View from under Print Range. This instructs VIEWS to print everything that can be scrolled into the screen.
3. Select the Print Quality.
4. Enter in the number of Copies to make.
5. When ready to print, press ENTER or choose OK. The infobase will print.
Printing a Narrowed View of the Infobase
You may print less than the entire infobase if you change your view of the infobase. One way to do this is to perform a query and choose Records with Hits from the View menu. This will narrow your view of the infobase to just those records (paragraphs) which contain search hits. Or, you may Tag records and then choose Keep Tags from the Edit menu. In either case, your view of the infobase will be narrowed. By choosing View from the Print Range in the Print dialog, you can print this narrowed view. For specific instructions, see Printing the Entire Infobase, above, or refer to Records with Hits or Keep Tags in the reference.
