Printing

To print what you see on the screen (a report, donor list, donor directory or graph):
  Turn on the printer, click on [Print] in the menu bar then click OK.

When you have a report with many columns it may be better to print in Portrait or Landscape mode.  You will be told which way is better then be given the choice of switching if you have chosen a different mode.  When the report is so wide that it will not fit in Landscape mode, a second page will need to be printed with the right side of the report on it.

Some printers can print on both sides of the page, (this is called duplex printing).  To print this way, select Duplex in your printer's properties.  When you are printing a report that has one donor per page, the first page for each donor will be on one side, the second on the back and so on. When a donor has an odd number of pages the back of the last page will be blank.  This applies to the following reports:
 Donations by Donor with One Donor per Page
 Tax Receipts
 Letters

To set up how to print what you see on the screen:

1. Choose Preferences... from the Setup menu.

2. Set the top and left margins.

3. Set the font style and size you wish to use then click OK.
 (If you have many donation categories pick a small size so that they will all fit on the page)

4. Choose Printer Setup... from the View menu.

5. Choose Portrait or Landscape then click OK. Reports with many columns print better in Landscape mode.  Donarius® will then remember how you printed either a report or a graph.  For example graphs can be in Landscape and reports in Portrait.

6. Change to a different printer if needed.

7. Click Save.  If you changed to a different printer you will be asked if you want it to be the default printer.  The default for Donarius® can be different from the default in Windows.

Save To Text File
What you see on the screen can be saved to a text file to customize it with a word processor or analyze the data with a spreadsheet program.  Click on [Save to Text File] in the menu bar.  Indicate whether the file will be used with a word processor or a spreadsheet program. (For a report of several pages, you will also have a choice of a spreadsheet without page breaks). Choose a file to save to, then start your word processor or spreadsheet program and select that file.  A spreadsheet file is a comma separated value file (CSV). Each column in the report will be converted to a field enclosed in quotes and each field will be separated from the next by a comma.

You can also create a spreadsheet by making a letter with only one line and have several fields separated by semi-colons or commas. When you save it to a text file choose the option: "spreadsheet without page breaks".
