QuikSand: Roster Format Question
 

Quik,

I was wondering if you could post or send me the coding/format info you use to post your roster. I really like the setup and think it would add a lot to my own attempts at dynasty reports. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Blackwind,

I have been printing my rosters to a text file from FOF 2001. I generally do so from the "Scout Opverview" screen, but occasionally also from the contract view.

If you are unaware how to do this, I think you may use your Control Panel to install a new printer, and choose "Generic/Text Only." This will just dump your output into a basic text file with a *.prn extension.

I then paste that text into my Word document that contains the career thread posts. The formatting that I've been using lately (which, incidentally, looks fabulous when I view it using MS IE, but pretty lousy with Netscape) is an html code for preformatted text, and is keyed in as follows:

Before the formatted text, insert the code to start the "preformatted" mode:
{pre}

(where the ornate brackets above must be replaced by the "less than" and "greater than" signs, respectively -- on my keyboard, they are above the comma and period)

Following the formatted text, insert the code to conclude the "preformatted" mode:
{/pre}

(same substitution as above)

As I undersand it, this code causes the text to appear in an even-spaced font (it looks a bit like Courier to me)... but in Netscape, I still have some trouble with the irregular spacing of multiple blank spaces.

Anyway, I hope that is helpful.

you mean like this?

Nice!
