Re: scaling on print for starcalc 5.1 (and nuking desktop)
There's a gradebook program floating about that I saw mentioned somewhere. Perhaps a search on freshmeat? Don't know what your particular needs are, but a text output piped to a2ps might do you okay. You could probably work up something pretty good with postgresql if you want to go that route. A much belated thanks. Nested within the page setup options is the scaling--it's not in printer options. And deleting all the icons on the desktop solved it's painfully slow draw. rick --

scaling on print for starcalc 5.1 (and nuking desktop)
I've given up on starcalc 3.0 for my gradesheets for a couple of reasons (scaling, hanging on start), can't use wingz reliably (it crashes, has lost data, and has scrambled the file irretrievably when crashing, as well as losing sort ranges at random, and gnumeric isn't even close to ready (basic lookup functions are missing). This leaves me with running staroffice 5.1 on another machine, which is a painful experience. It's stable by comparison to the choices, but it seems to be ignoring the scaling when printing to a generic printer postscript file (and there aren't any other choices). Does anyone know any way to get this to work? And is it possible to completely nuke the desktop? Redrawing icons that stick out is painfully slow. Rick, getting desperate. --
