Question for FOF 2004

[mmarra82]

For the first time since I got my new computer I wanted to print my team's roster, financial info, etc. to a file. On my old computer when I clicked on the print command in the game I received the option to print to the printer or to text. I would print to text a lot of the times to have the ability to manipulate that information. However, on my new computer I do not get that option, I receive the print option to the printer, the fax, intuit internal printer, and Microsoft Office Document Image Writing.

I only option that prints to file is the Microsoft Office Document Image Writing, however, from there I cannot do anything with the file. I cannot get it to transfer to Word, or edit any of the text. With my new dynasty I am creating I need this information to post it. Any suggestions?

You have to set a Print to Text option in your Operating System.

Go to START/SETTINGS/PRINTERS AND FAXES. Or you can get there via the Control Panel in the Start menu as well.

Then hit the ADD PRINTER icon. Select the LOCAL PRINTER ATTACHED TO THIS COMPUTER, but unselect the AUTOMATICALLY DETECT AND INSTALL MY PLUG AND PLAY PRINTER. Then hit NEXT.

Select USE THE FOLLOWING PORT and select the option PRINT TO FILE. Hit NEXT.

Select GENERIC in the Manufacturer menu. This will bring up your Printers options and select GENERIC/TEXT ONLY. Then hit next and continue on. Decide if you want it as your default printer, etc. Eventually it will load the drivers and install the printer and you're done.

Hope this helps.

OK, that information you gave me worked great. Now, I go to the game, Print and for some reason I do not get the option of where the file went, any help with that?

Got it now, just remembered it prints to the FOF2004 folder. Hey thanks for the help.

Not a problem.

I know when mine prints to file, I can usually type in the directory and file name of where I want it to go. For example, I'll type in C:\FolderName\MyRoster.txt or something like that.

Doesn't give me that option, but I know where it goes. Once again, thanks.
