WRITETURN
Last month | promised an in depth look at Writeturn, Sector Software’s answer to the problem of “the too big spreadsheet” and how you can print it. This is a problem on printers with 8 1/2″ carriages, if you want to label rows and include all 12 months plus a yearly total. f you run over 132 columns, condensed print won’t work. What you need is the ability to turn the page 909, so the top of the page prints down the side. Last year Talent produced Sideways but its drawback was that it used a downloadable character set and many printers, including the QL printer, don’t have that capability. Writeturn turns the characters with the Software to overcome that problem. In my estimation that’s the only thing they’ve done right (write?). After working with Writeturn, you can really appreciate the work that Talent put into Sideways.
