• Quick Comment on Printing the Revelation Charts…

  One of my friends messaged me about some trouble he had with the charts running off the page so I thought it might be good to post a little piece here on how to get that done if you are having problems.

  The series “The Timeline Analysis of the Book of the Revelation” in six
  parts is intended to be printed out in two (2) passes on regular
  8 1/2″ x 11″ paper. .. one pass to do
  the “blog text” (in portrait mode) and the other for the “chart” (in landscape mode).

  While I really appreciate Xanga for blogging, it wasn’t always as
  friendly as I would have liked when doing this series with its charts. 
  The detail necessary for the charts and to do them with a nice readable
  text size was simply much different than that necessary to display the
  regular blog text. To have made the blog text and the chart text print
  out nicely in one printing pass would have made the “chart text” much
  too small and blurry. I thought it would be better to have a “two step
  process” than give you charts you couldn’t read.

  The best way to go about this is to do a “print preview” to find out
  how many pages are in the post for the “blog text” only. Print that out
  in “portrait mode” first.  

  Then right click on the chart itself. It is a JPEG file and you can
  copy that to your computer and print it however you usually do it from
  there. I’ve tried it in both Firefox and MS Internet Explorer and they
  both work. MS IE might require a bit of tweaking in the Photo Printing
  Wizard but there are other much easier ways to print it out in IE so
  this should not be very hard if you done much of your own “picture file” printing at all.  

  I hope this helps….  and I hope your day is going well.  Blessings, Mr.Vee
