Re: [Dx4win] SWL labels
Thanks for all the help and advice. It would help if the group info (%%) did work for SWL labels on the second line. 73, Carl GW0VSW Sent from my iPhone > On 17 Nov 2014, at 01:37, Art - W6KY wrote: > > > GROUP NUMBERS WON'T HELP WITH SWL REQUEST. %% IS SUPPOSED > TO PRINT THE GROUP INFO ON THE LABEL.

[Dx4win] Label Printing/Callsigns
Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to add an extra line when printing QSL labels? Using 'File- Preferences-Set Parameters-Labels Greetings' you get two. I have been using L7160 labels for a time but there is a lot of wasted space on them which could be put to good use with the addition of an extra 'optional' line! Also, there are a few 'special event' stations running these days with long callsigns i.e. SQ200CHOPIN/4 which will not fit in the callsign window. Would it be possible to increase the size by a few characters? 73, Carl GW0VSW __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] Fw: Label Printing - Fixed
Me again. I think I have solved the problem regarding label printing. I was using the K9YY_C3 slashed Zero font when I began printing my labels and the date entry was running over the box lines when 'Using Lines' was selected. I have now tried several different fonts and ended up with the Slashed Zero Aerial font and the date now falls within the printed box. Your selection of font may be important if you are to avoid the same problem when printing lines on your labels. I then downloaded v8.03 and tried again with the 'Label Editor' > 'Custom Label' to try and use the Avery DPS30-100 sheets I had available. With some 'tweaking' I have now managed to get an acceptable result using a Brother HL-2035 laser printer. Happy Christmas, Carl GW0VSW ----- Forwarded Message From: Carl Mason To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, 14 December, 2009 14:17:18 Subject: Label Printing Hi, Has anyone had problems printing custom labels in v8.02? For whatever reason I cannot get the programme to recognise an A4 page with 30 labels on it - 70x30mm - 3 across/10 down with no spacing between labels. I have changed the font sizes and removed 'using lines' etc but DX4WIN will not recognise this custom label. If I switch to Avery standard labels L7160 or L7159 it prints well. However, if ''Uses lines' is selected the date 'box' line prints the last numer in that filed no matter what font size is selected!!! The 'Label Editor' also prevents me choosing the number of QSO's per label. Any help appreciated.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN v8.02 log problem
Hi Mel, I am positive that the correct log was saved and have no explanation for the missing entries or the X's that replaced earlier logged QSO's. I have opened and saved the log several times today and made a few backups as well. All these files are good and work correctly. Carl From: Mel To: Carl Mason Sent: Thursday, 19 November, 2009 22:18:30 Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN v8.02 log problem Well that eliminates cross-linked files as the problem (a nightmare with older FAT file systems). Can you be absolutely sure you never opened the demo log? If you did so even once, the program would open it automatically after that... As for the X's, it's hard to know if that happened while the log was open by DX4Win or there is another issue. It's a reminder that we not only need backups, but preferably a few generations...

Hi Mel, I run XP Pro. When I leave the programme it says "I have updated the logbook" and "do I want to save it". I always say 'yes' and up to now have not had a problem. I also back up the log to a memory stick, usually once a week. Over the past three days I have opened the programme several times and each time my last entry was in the logbook. This morning when the log opened I had the problem.
