For me its not a major problem since we normally publish to the website. Its normally at something like the
regatta where we hit this and that only happens once a year but there again its also the one time
we need to get the results done in a hurry before people have to leave.
Thanks

Hi John,
OK I understand. There are a few areas of Sailwave that need a major
overhaul and publishing is one of them; I'll see what I can do to hack it in
the short term.

Subject: RE: [sailwave] Re: Printing ProblemsI believe 2) is a problem and the header rows not appearing on
subsequent sheets is a problem.The other thing that i find awkward is printing out a series and
individual races (on seperate sheets to avoid a single
race overflowing page boundaries), since
if you combine it as one (as you would publishing to a web site)
the individual races dont start on a new page (without
some editing) so you end up publishing the series result and the
printing it. Then publishing each race individually
and printing it. This is slow, tedious and means you have to keep
altering the publish options which is error prone.This is usefull for handicap events where people like to see the
corrected times as well as their positions in each race.John

Subject: RE: [sailwave] Re: Printing ProblemsHi Donald et al,
The original idea was to generate HTML and then get a web browser to print
it. As I understand it, the problem with this is twofold:-1. Some browsers split the table rows in half at the bottom of a page,
making that row spread across two pages vertically and hence is
unreadable.
I've never seen a browser do this - it always splits the row at a sensible
place so the text itself is never split.2. When using a large font (or a long series) the number of columns can
overflow a landscape sheet of paper horizontally - and browsers do not
handle this.Is that correct?
Or is 1. more do to with the fact that the header rows are only
available on
the first page?Regards,
Colin J
