[DXBase] Label printing questions

2002年11月11日 19:36:21 -0500

Gee, Jack, I use the Help file often and in fact have printed out quite
a large part of it. If the answers are there, shame on me. Meanwhile,
I also have some replies from experienced users to look into. After
sending my note I found the "Tutorial", so I suppose I'm guilty of
impatience.

George,
I'm not sure if you knew that DXbase provides an extensive on line help
system that answers in detail just about everything you asked? Select
from
the main menu Help and select Contents. On the two pane window that
appears, look on the left side and click the plus symbol beside QSL
Labels
and cards. There you will see a lot of topics listed many of which are
the
subject of the questions you ask. Just click on the topic on the left
and
the information about that topic will appear on the right side of the
two
pane window.
Take a look at those topics and if you still have questions, we will
deal
with those. It's just too much for us to copy the help file here and
email
it back to you when you already have the information.
The true type fonts that we provide are located in your DXbase label sub
folder. Chances are that they were already installed when you installed
DXbase, but just in case your system didn't accept them, we include them
in
the label folder so that you can install them yourself following the
Windows
instructions for installing a true type font.
Regards,
Jack
