Printing from PropTool

OK, is there a way to print landscape from PropTool?

I'd like to print (actually to PDF) for documentation, but hate line wrapping, so A4 landscape is what I'm after, but when I set my printer to landscape I get the print on landscape, but still with portrait width! (Hope that makes sense).

You'll always have as many take-offs as landings, the trick is to be sure you can take-off again ;-)

    Doesn't look like that's an option.

    I don't know if this helps, but I found that if you hold down CTRL and press the down arrow a few times to get the smallest font, then print, it comes out looking pretty good.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Click print properties and select landscape within your printer's preferences or even your pdf creator properties?

    attached is an example pdf which is in landscape

    Oh yes you still get portrait width but it won't wrap will it?

    @Graham: Yeah - that's the problem :-(

    @gamehacker: Good call - I'd not thought of that. I'll give it a try.

    Darn! Better, but it still wraps at portrait width.

    But is it really a problem? In fact it saves ink [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    @Graham: I wouldn't put it ahead of fixing / adding other things in PropTool, but I find it difficult to read stuff on screen, and it's invariably comments - which I rely on to try and understand what code's doing - that get wrapped. Maybe it's just me, but it's one of those little annoyances wink.gif
