To work with a PAF file on drive A, you can do this:
From the program screen (shows the Menu Bar at the top--not Home Base
because the Menu Bar is grayed out), click on File, then click on Open.
Near the bottom of the box, click on Browse (to manually look for a file to
open).
If a disk is in your A drive, automatic may find the file there, but it will
take a long time to go through all the files on any hard disks you have.
Near the bottom of the next box to appear is Drives. Click on downpointing
triangle and move the scroll bar up to display the A drive. Click on that,
click on enough OKs to get you back to the program screen.
My terminology is not exact, if you need help with these instructions,
please send me a message and I'll try again.

There's a big difference between printing to a file and a printer.
What you see in the file are called control codes and the printer expects
them, Word doesn't. Those control codes tell the printer what to do with
your text, such as compressed pitch, underline, or other options.
Select a generic text option, but only when printing to a file, and it
should
work fine.

Thanks Alice,
At the weekend I will try and sort out what you and Peter have told me. It
may take me a while!
But I'll get there!

Subject: Re: [PAF] Print to file
Barry,
Thank you very much for your suggestions. This time, I saved the FGR in
C:\PAF3, as was suggested in the manuel (formerly, I had wanted to save it in
another file). Whether this made the difference or not, I got a FGR without
machine language. It is an ugly report, with lots of dotted lines, wasted
space, etc. I couldn't use a report like this without a lot of fixing up.
Pedigree charts were totally unusable.
I didn't see a place in PAF to select generic text option.
When I save to the file in PAF Companion, in anything but the Register report,
I get boxes and squares. These are saved as printer files, .prn, and I can't
find any other way to save them. Register report is in RTF, and transfers
well.

Subject: [PAF] The Broadcast Coming Up - FAVOR!!!
I have tried all the church channels in Europe trying to find a carrier
for the broadcast so I can get a copy of the Family History Training
broadcast coming later on today. I am willing to send cash to anyone who
replies to me if they can copy the broadcast for me on a viseo tape. The
church's satellite system works in teh states but dfue to red tape and
different technical problems to renting over-priced satellite time, I am
unable to obtain a much needed copy of the broadcast.
I will pay the pastage and the cost of the blank video cassette if someone
would be so kind as to record and/or copy the broadcast today.
My ward and indeed all of Finland would be greatful :)
Please reply to my personal email in my signature below to avoid mailing
list overkill too please :)
