More on Windows printing...

[Chipp Walters]

Anyone try this? Jerry Daniels says it solved his printing woes.

Description
Use the formatForPrinting property to improve printout appearance on 
Windows systems.

Value:
The formatForPrinting of a stack is true or false.

By default, the formatForPrinting property of newly created stacks is 
set to false.

Comments:
Windows systems may use different font versions for printing and for 
screen display, and the spacing of the print version may differ from the 
spacing of the screen version. This can result in layouts and line 
breaks differing between the screen display and the printed result. For 
the best appearance of printed cards in a stack, make sure the stack is 
closed (and not in memory), then set the stack's formatForPrinting 
property to true before opening the stack to print it.
