Sorry I have to call the printing buggy, but it has taken me quite an effort to get to the following workaround for printing. If I change "anything" in AccoGlobes page setup I get errors. Here is how to avoid it.

It is bacically about setting up the default printer as you like AccuGlobe to print and then save it in AccuGlobe as a printing template for later use:

* Before opening AccuGlobe set the desired printer as the default printer: right click on the printer in Windows "Printers and Faxes" and choose "Set as default printer"
* Right click again and select "Printing preferences"
* Setup orientation, paper size, margins .... and so on
* Open your map in AccuGlobe
* Click print (it should now be in the desired orientation and paper size)
* In the right panel under "Behavior" click "+" next to "EditStyle"
* Click on "AspectRatio" and select "True"
* Now drag your map to fill the paper (the zoom may not be right after dragging, but ignore that). If it is a big paper size you might set ZOOM: 50% or other value
* Save the template (Save as...)
* Close print window
* Click print again
* Select "File" and "Load template" and select the template you saved.
* Now the layout should be as desired: Papersize, orientation etc. and the zoom should match what you see in the AccuGlobe map window.

And next time, just click print and "Load template"

Best Regards

Morten
