This article was previously published under Q84859 SUMMARY
A blank line will print after each line of text when a spreadsheet file, a
database file, or a database report is printed from Microsoft Works for
Windows when Windows 3.0 or Windows 95 Generic/Text Only printer driver is
used. This behavior does not occur when a word processor document is
printed.
Double spacing will depend on the row height of the cells. If the row
height is comparable (best fit) to the default font then it will not double
space on the Generic/Text Only printer driver.
Another solution is to print spreadsheet and database documents from the
Word Processor module. The output from spreadsheet and database files can
be exported to the Word Processor for printing as described below.
Spreadsheet and Database Files
There are two methods of exporting these files to the Word Processor
module:
- These files can be saved as text-and-tabs files, and then opened in
the Word Processor and printed. To do this:
- Open the file and click Save As from the File
menu.
- Enter a new name into the File Name box.
- From the Save File As Type box, select Text And Tabs
or Text And Tabs (DOS) and click OK.
- Open this file as a word processing document.
- The information in these files can also be directly copied to a new
word processing document for printing. To do this:
- Select all the information you want to print in the spreadsheet
or select all the information you want to print in the list view
of the database.
- From the Edit menu, click Copy.
- Create a new word processing document and click Paste from
the Edit menu.
Database Reports
The only option with a database report is to copy the report output directly to a word processing document. To do this:
- In the Database Report Definition screen, click Copy Report
Output from the Edit menu.
- Create a new word processing document.
- From the Edit menu, click Paste.
