Layout Options for Page Setup

You can specify the following layout options. A preview area shows you the effects of your selections:

• Print header--Print the header specified in the Header pane.
• Print line numbers--Print line numbers.
• Wrap lines--Wrap any lines that are longer than the printed page width.
• Syntax highlighting--For keywords and comments that are highlighted in the Command Window, specify how they are to appear in print. Options are black and white text (that is, no highlighting), colored text (for use with a color printer), or styled text. For styled text, keywords appear in bold, comments appear in italics, and all other text appears in the normal style. Only keywords and comments you input in the Command Window are highlighted; output is not highlighted.

Header Options for Page Setup

If you want to print a header, select the Layout tab and then select Print header. Then select the Header tab and specify how the elements of the header are to appear. A preview area shows you the effects of your selections:

• Page number--Format for the page number, for example # of n
• Border--Border style for the header, for example, Shaded box
• Layout--Layout style for the header. For example, Standard one line includes the date, time, and page number all on one line

Fonts Options for Page Setup

Specify the font to be used for the printed contents:

1. From Choose font, select the element, either Body or Header, where Body text is everything except the Header.
2. Select the font to use for that element. For example, select Use Command Window font for Body text if you want the printed text to be the same as the font that appears in the Command Window. This is the font specified in File -> Preferences -> Fonts -> Custom for the Command Window.
3. Repeat for the other element. If you did not select Print header on the Layout pane, you do not need to specify the Header font. As an example, for Header text, select Use custom font and then specify the font characteristics--type, style, and size. After you specify a custom font, the Sample area shows how the font will look.
