[DXBase] QSL Card Tutorial

2003年8月18日 01:54:44 -0400

I have suggested several times that Scientific Solutions change the way the
card designer in DXBase works. It is dumb IMHO to design a QSL card looking
at it standing on it's end. Lets see, turn the monitor on its side. Oh no
now all the menus are wrong! Just a little humor. I also must say that the
card designer user interface is much improved in DXBase 2004.
While on my soap box, I just hate to use the field order program. If I make
one mistake I must retype the whole field order over again because the
program can't recall a previous field order file. I think it would be better
to have a list where one could select a field name then move it up or down
to a desired location. Then on closeting the window the field order file
would be created. Better yet just have drag and drop columns. I am sure
someone else might have a idea how to do this but the main thing is change
the way it is done now.

I would also like to know how to rotate a card. (if it is possible) in
DXB2004.

and see what it would produce. I didn't make it far though. On page 246
it says to choose K9DD QSL Card, which I did, but its layout is portrait
instead of landscape, so how do I turn it?
