Can't print in Column mode - always switches back to regular

Postby stine20 » Tue Feb 07, 2006 4:41 pm

I have a file that is space delimited. When I view it in normal mode, it doesn't align the spaces and looks funny. It's looks perfect in column mode view, but when I go to print it, it turns back to the regular view.

How can I print the Column mode view?

thank you! this is driving me nuts.

This is not a problem with column mode and normal mode view. This is simply a font problem. In normal mode you use a proportional font like Arial where every character has it's own width. For example a space is much smaller as a W. The characters of a non-proportional font like Courier New have all the same width. For a text editor only non-proportional fonts should be used to avoid "funny" layouts.

Check the font settings in menu View, there are 3:

Set HEX/Column Mode Font
Set Font
Set Printer Font

And turn off Mirror Display Font.

You can get additional informations by reading in the help of UltraEdit at Contents - Menu Commands - View Menu - ...
