Problems Copying Reports Between HyperCard Stacks (3/94)


I tried to copy an Avery Mailing Label report from the Address stack that comes with HyperCard 2.2 into my own 2.1 Address stack, and it's not copying correctly. The original label report had three columns and ten rows, and the pasted version has two columns and eight rows. What's wrong?

The problem is with Page Setup in your personal Address stack. In the page setup of your Address stack, choose Options, and make sure that "Precision Bitmap Alignment (4% Reduction) is NOT chosen. Try the copy again, and it should work fine.

Note: In the Reports dialog box in HyperCard version 2.1 there is no Save button, whereas there is a Save in version 2.2. A Save dialog does appear whenever a new report is created or an old report is changed, and the user chooses Print or Cancel (the only two options).
