Hello, I'm trying to print a specific section of the Metastock help file, particularly the part describing all the indicators (description, interpretation, tips). Is there a simple way to do this, rather than clicking 'Print' one-at-a-time? To further my frustration, the whole help window closes the moment I hit print, so I have to load it up again and find the particular section. :x My goal is to have a printed list of all the included Metastock indicators, with full descriptions so I can read them offline (I can't stare at a screen for very long). Mark

hey mark... yes there is ..... its one of those obscure things i figured it out sometime back but never posted .... briefly, it has to do with opening the equis folder and then selecting the help files..... there is an extra step in the print option that allows for printing in the book style your after.... i'll look it up and post it later......h

hey mark and konrad.... can't seem to locate exactly how i did it.... still trying..... here is the way meta intended for us to do it, this is not the best way..... once you open the help topics it should say welcome, copyright, metastock help contents , getting started and so on..... scroll down to the one your interested in.... say like 'working with indicators'...... just tap once on it to turn it blue..... now click print..... you might have to click the print selection if your printer dialog comes up..... it should zoom through all the subtopics in the 'working with indicators' tab and begin printing them all..... you'll see that method works but makes poor use of paper..... somehow i figured out a way that specificaly said 'print all sub topics'..... thats what to look for.... 'print all sub topics'....... using that method prints it out in neat book form.... mark if your using 9.1 there are pdf's included that can be printed..... plain 9.0 has some also but not as many....... still lookin for my other print method......h

For some strange reason printing from the help file doesn't seem to work. For example, I highlight "Interpretation of Indicators and Line Studies" and click print, but only the first 8 or so pages print. I'm scratching my head here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Mark

hey mark.... well found the print all sub topics finally.... it was in quotecenter not metastock..... i must have copied and pasted the metastock help files into ms word and the printed it out in book form..... i have it in book form so thats just about has to be my method...... when i open the help files as normal using the metastock toolbar, just highlighting the topic and clicking print will print the entire contents..... not sure why yours stops at 8..... if i discover anything better on printin, i'll holler back.....h
