Problem

Solutions: A parallel or newspaper column formatted file that a user wants saved as ASCII can be saved with the column format preserved as spaces by printing to disk with the Standard Printer selected. First select the Standard Printer driver, and then in the Select Printer: Edit screen, select option 2, Port. Choose option 8 and enter a file name. The file which is created by printing to disk will include spaces for any margins, so the user may want to set the margins to 0" before printing to disk. You can also follow the steps below to preserve the visual layout of a document in parallel columns after converting it to ASCII text: 1. Block the information in columns from top to bottom 2. Press Alt-F7, 2, 1, 2 3. Delete the newly-created Table Definition code 4. Adjust the Tab settings to the desired format
