How do you Output Rosters?
I've had the game for a while, and am very interested in submitting my dynasty reports.
But I have no idea how to output my rosters or other stats into a text file. A while back someone told someone else with the same problem to print the rosters to file. I have no idea how to do this. Could someone explain this or another way of doing it? Thanks |

By my best recollection...
Go to your Control Panel, and choose Printers. You should have an option to Install New Printer. One choice will be "generic/text printer"-- essentialy setting up an option to "print" your output to a text file only. Set this up - it will not require any drivers or files. Then, when you print from FOF (or something else) you may elect this printer from your print menu. You basiclally name a file, and the output is dumped into a text file with the name you chose. You may then open this up in a word processing program of your choice, and can copy/paste into forum postings. You may find that including text dumps into career threads is helped by the use of the "prefortted text" tag in -html. This converts it to the smaller, evenly-0spaced font that appears in many career threads. To do this, use these labels immediately before and after your text (as below): {pre} your text here {/pre} (Only replace the ornate brackets above with the "less than" and "greater than" symbols) Hope all that is specific enough to help. God luck with your career, and your thread. |

You'd think I'd know how to do this by now, but I'm having a bit of problem with this process. I'm seem to be fine until I get to Port, I tried through the printer port, and it printed on my printer, not to a text file, I then deleted that one, and chose FILE as the next port option.
I then tested it out in FOF2001, and the window pops open giving me a choice for where to put the file, but then just sits there when I click on OK. What am I doing wrong? I have Windows 98SE if that matters Dan/Thomkal

Cubsfan,
Yep, tried it both ways, naming and not, still nothing. Dan

Would it be appreciated if someone stepped up and produced an "official" document on how to do this? Since the opening of the new board, at least 4 or 5 times this has been asked, and I think a lot of people would find it helpful to have a clear, step-by-step documentation of what they need to do.
I'll step up to the task if wanted, just lemme' know. ------------------ Secant, Tangent, Cosin, Sin, 3.14159!

I think I'm starting to understand it now.
