how to print only a part of a card?

[Paul Hibbert]

Tiemo,

There’s nothing wrong with your logic, this all works fine on a Mac, LC8.1.4 (rc1), but from an earlier post I gather you are on Win 10 so this looks like there's a bug in the works, maybe a Linux user could test also.

Have you tried any other versions of LC?
