Hallo,

I have been trying to print the cheatsheet right from the Wiki page, but
somehow it only prints out in giant letters and only the Wiki text to
==heading==. It also trunkates on the right the Results field. What

should

I be doing differently?
and what type of file is .png? Should I log onto Wiki and follow the path
given? I never see a place were I can download it from.

Thank you,

Renee Ireton

Renee,

Just go on the site, and in the 7th line below the Heading Cheatsheet,
there is a Line "Download PDF", open the Link for English (DOWNLOAD) and
you'll get the page for the PDF- File which you can save on your
harddisk (or whatever storage) and print it like any other PDF. The png
file is a picture file type and if you use Internet Explorer, then
you'll always will have trouble to print large pictures right (maybe
this will change in IE7....)

Andreas,
I have tried to do exactly as you explained, but all I get a hung process.
I click on the engl. download, the screen goes white, the windows flag in
the upper right hand corner waves, and waves for ever, but nothing comes
back. I also tried the german download, same thing. One time a got an '
I/O error timed out ', but 3 other times no error and no download. I am
running on windows 98 XP. Nothing else is running. Do others ever report
any problems?

Thank you for your previous help,

Renee

What you describe happens to me at work. It seems to be a problem between Internet Explorer and Acrobat Reader. You can do two things to work around:

1. Right Click on the "Download" link and select "save target as". Save the file in what ever folder you want to, wait till the download is over and click "open" in the downlad window.

2. Retire Internet Explorer and use Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/ ) instead. Once you're accustomed to Firefox and its possibilities you'll wont miss IE at all, and you'll have less pop-ups, less annoying flash ads and much more. If you use Firefox and the latest Acrobat Reader, you'll wont have any problems using the genwiki pages.
