Hi Graham,
I think RunRev is definately limited in it's print functions especially when
using win os.
I have been trying to find a way to have the default Windows print preview
window appear from runrev.
Type res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdoclc.dll/preview.dlg into the address bar
of your webbrowser to
see the BLANK example. If we could some how find a way to load our projects
pages to it we would have
all the functions it offers like multiple page view, zoom-, zoom+, page
setup e.t.c
For now I am using a clumsy but effective way of giving the user a multiple
page preview(divides document into correct amount of pages for printing as
per papersize). This is acheived using XMLNS routine and a small HTA script.
Paste the code below into a text file and rename it print.hta copy it to
your windows TEMP folder.

Gosh - I could never have done this in 100 years, especially since I'm much more familiar with Macs than PCs (nevertheless my users are generally PC users). Your complete instructions have gone into my scrapbook and will be pressed into service.
I'm glad you agree that RunRev needs to pay more attention to printing issues. Nobody has yet suggested a simple Transcript method (I mean one that works without non-Transcript code) of displaying the kind of print dialog you get in pretty well all published Windows apps. But the preview idea is certainly interesting.
Thanks very much
