Tracy, As a "veteran" user of DeskTop Set, I've enjoyed the tape calculator and lament its demise from the DeskTop Set suite. Though I know it is no longer included (or supported, I assume), I hope you can help me with a simple question… When I print a tape calculator transaction (usually to a LaserJet HP 4M), the left margin comes out at 1 3/8" inches, rather wide. This causes the right side of the printout (where all the numbers are) to go off the page. If I go to Control Panel and change the default printer page orientation to Landscape, the printout fits. Unfortunately, landscape isn't a workable default as almost everything else prints best in portrait orientation — as would long tape printouts. Is there anywhere to set parameters for tape calculator, such as margins, page orientation or font? A smaller font would probably fit on a portrait-style page. Thanks for your help. John Strakele BTW, last I saw the update was anticipated at the end of the summer. Are we close? Also, is 5.0 on track?
