Hi Ed. Yes, I do. Although it was only me jumping to a conclusion about fonts. So far all we have is the name of the DLL.

I remember having a problem printing from Lotus Smartsuite Wordpro, where it would not print but would go through the actions of printing. I think I was printing in background and solved it by changing to foreground. regards Ken Alan Duval wrote: > Hi, > > I have a spreadsheet produced in Lotus Smartsuite 123 and wanted to > print it but nothing happens.

And when you say nothing happens, is anything sent to the print spooler - i.e. is 123 not creating print output or the printer not printing it ? I do remember this problem, from probably 10 years ago with the 123 component of Smartsuite. It should be listed on the smartsuite support webpages, I have a sort of, memory that it was something to do with the way 123 writes to the print spooler, but I could be wrong.

I've looked at the properties of the spreadsheet and the printer but can't find anything to do with foreground and background. When I click on 'print' the printer dialog window isn't even appearing so the program doesn't seem to be connecting with the printer. > > Alan Duval wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I have a spreadsheet produced in Lotus Smartsuite 123 and wanted to >> print it but nothing happens.
