EasyShop Shop Designer Won't Print !?!?!?!?!
============================================

[Use your browser's back button to return.]

I have had a handful of emails now indicating that
people have been having problems getting Shop
Designer to print.  I have recently had my own
laptop meltdown and I downloaded the software
for reinstallation only to find I couldn't get it
to print either.  Here is how I work around it.

I do any changes to the layout and save as normal.
When I want to print, I press the "PRT SC" or "Print
Screen" button to take a screen shot of the entire
Shop Designer window.  Then I open Windows Paint and
click on Edit and Paste.  The computer will probably
ask you if you want to enlarge the bitmap so make
sure you click OK.  If you don't, only part of the
screen print will appear - probably the part you
don't want.  Then I use the rectangular selection
tool to select just the layout, then I click Edit and
Copy To.  You will have to give it a file name then
click save.  When you reopen that file using Word or
your favorite image software, you will be able to
print.  It is also easy to open the file with your
internet browser and print if you want to get a quick
copy without formatting.

An added benefit of this method is that Windows
paint, or another graphic program, will allow you
to make alterations and additions that were otherwise
impossible with the original software!
