Re: Star Charts Printing

Joe Lippencott Feb 5, 2004

Thanks, Bill
Your info solved all the problems I was having with this. I hope the
other members who gave me suggestions will read your post - It will
simplify things for them too.
I should have paid more attention to pgs. 27 & 40 in the manual for
the printing issue.
As for the constellation boundaries problem, I couldn't seem to find
it documented in the manual or the on-screen help. It is fortunate
that we can get help from you on some of the more obscure questions
in such a timely and convenient manner.
Please keep up the good work. I am constantly amazed by the feature-
rich nature of Guide. Features that don't become apparent until one
has used the program for awhile.

Regards
Joe
