9. My printer is not printing correctly.

1. Window/Orphan control is checked, but my records still print on two pages.

This option only prevents one line from being separated from the rest of the record. To force an entire record to print on a single page, click the "Keep lines together option," which appears just to the right of "Window/Orphan control".

2. How do I print a group, topic or category?

To print groups, topics, or categories, you must assign them to a print range, and print only that range:

— Select File/Envelopes/Style setup or...

— Select File/Labels/Style setup or...

— Select Files/Print book/Style setup, and the following options:

1. Highlight the style you wish to print and click the Range tab.

2. Click the Add button and name your new range, then click OK.

3. Highlight the group(s), topic(s), and category(s) you want to add to that range.

4. Click the Options tab.

5. Under "Print by," select Range.

6. Under Range, select the range that you just created.

7. Click Preview to verify that only the members of this range will print.

3. My print preview or printout is blank.

If you are able to print a single record, but not a book, your Print Templates may be empty. A Print Template specifies which information about each person will print. If this template is blank, your printout will also be blank.

To resolve this issue:

1. Select File/Print Book/Style Setup to select the style of book you wish to print.

2. Highlight this style, and then click the Template tab.

3. If the four Template sections (labeled Left Index, Right Index, Left Template, and Right Template) are blank, click the Fields button, which appears above the Right Index box. A Fields List will appear.

4. You may now place your cursor in each of the four Template sections, and select which fields should print by double-clicking the appropriate field in the Fields list.

5. The Index fields will appear as a heading for each person -- try placing <PAGE NAME> in the Left Index field, for example. If you do not want information in any one section, leave it blank.

6. Once the fields are filled in, click Preview to see how the printout will appear. Then click Print to print your book.

4. How do I print an entire year's Calendar?

You can print an entire year using the Combo folder:

1. Select File/Print Setup/Combo folder from the Calendar menu.

2. In the Page layout section, select "Calendar" for the 1st column and "None" for the 2nd and 3rd columns.

3. Select the desired options in the Calendar setup area and click OK.

4. To print the year calendar, select File/Print/Combo folder.

5. When I print a daily itinerary, why doesn't Calendar print the blanks in my schedule?

In order to print blank entries as they appear in your Day view, you must uncheck two options in the print setup. It is not enough to simply uncheck "Skip blanks", because Calendar sorts your events in chronological order, with blank events at the bottom of the list. Therefore, when you sort your events, the Skip blanks option has no effect.

To print the blank lines in your schedule:

1. Select File/Print setup/Daily itinerary… from Calendar’s menu.

2. In the Options section, make sure that you have not selected Skip blanks and Sort entries.

3. Click OK to save any changes, then print the daily itinerary.

6. My labels are not properly aligned on the printout.

Please review your Print Preview for these labels:

1. Choose File/Labels/Style Setup from the Address Book menu.

2. Highlight the style label you are trying to print.

3. Click the Preview button to preview your printout. The preview should show the same problems as you are seeing in the actual printout. If it does not, click the Info button and inform Technical Support of the settings that are displayed.

4. Click Close to close the Preview window.

5. Click the Page Setup tab at the top of the screen.

6. Look at the Section Margins (be sure it is the SECTION margins you are looking at, and not the Page margins) portion of the screen. Adjust these margins to realign the labels.

7. You can click Preview at any time to see the effect on your printout. Continue adjusting your section margins in order to fit your labels neatly on the page.

7. Actual keywords are printing instead of their corresponding information.

Make sure that:

— You have at least one space between each of the DeskTop Set keywords and any surrounding text.

— All fields begin and end in angle brackets and are in capital letters (ex. <PAGE NAME>).

— You have used valid keywords, and that they are spelled correctly. We recommend using the Fields button to select the merge field names, instead of entering them manually, to avoid mistakes.

8. How do I remove old styles from my print menu?

If your Print Styles menu contains styles that no longer exist, you can clear the menu. For example, to clear the list of Book styles:

1. Choose File/Print Book/Style Setup from the menu.

2. Click the Module Setup tab.

3. Click the Clear printing menu button, and click OK.

4. The next time you choose File/Print Book, the most recently used styles will not appear.

Alternatively, you can clear the Print menu using another method:

1. Hold down the CTRL and SHFT keys on your keyboard.

2. Choose File/Print Book/Style Setup from the menu.

3. Select the style you wish to print, and print it.

4. The next time you choose File/Print Book, the only style in the list will be the one you printed last.

9. My printer is not printing correctly.

Older printer drivers may not print out properly. Downloading and installing the most recent driver from your printer manufacturer usually resolving these issues. Please visit related site for updated drivers and instructions.
