Trying to print to a text file

[FRED_EMMERICH_(Guest)]

I am running 8.1 XBASE. I am trying to make my report output go to a text file, so that there are no printer formatting commands in it at all. I have set up a text/generic printer on my PC which prints to a file. I get only text except I get 1 character per line with the line going diagonally down across the page like this:____m__ y__ o__ u__ t__ p__ u__ t____I have also tried exporting to a text file and it works sort of okay, but I do not get any form feed commands, not even the basic ASCII code for a form feed (can^t remember which one it is).____Is there a way to get the output to come out looking okay in text mode? The output in the actual file also is spaced differently than it looks when I preview it, should I pick a certain font so I can more of a WYSIWYG output?____Thanks

Try selecting your usual printer and then do an Export to Text.__When I just did this using my Laser Jet 4050, the resulting text file does have a CR/LF in the file at the end of each line.____Kathleen__R&R Support

I don^t get the form feed characters though.
