WYSIWYG

WYSIWYG

WYSIWYG

(OP)
"What You See Is What You Get" does not work with our PC's. Anything with text on a drawing shifts to the right when I do print preview and/or print, but looks good when back editing the drawing. Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions how to fix it?
Thank you

RE: WYSIWYG

I don't recall seeing this, but, I would try using a different font.
Make sure you use one that is common to all PC's and printers, etc...
We use CENTURY GOTHIC and have no problems... also try ARIAL or ROMANS.

RE: WYSIWYG

We use Arial narrow. Our text doesn't "shift", but it does "grow" from the fixed point a little bit.

Different fonts grow more or less, from what I have seen.

I should have mentioned I use Arial and sometimes Arial Narrow. I'll try other fonts. Thanks for the input.

RE: WYSIWYG

Mine does the same using Century Gothic. I have started using print preview always to check before printing.

RE: WYSIWYG

If you have a certain spot in a drawing that seems to always print off the page or sheet. Try Zooming in to that area. You will see then whether or not the text will be off the page.

I agree this should get fixed.
