Re: Saving spine labels to a disk

[Carol Gyger <gyger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

You can set your Window default printer to "print to file".  Then when 
you print the spine labels, they dump to a file.  You will have to do 
some cleanup in the file because GuiCat seems to insert a few strange 
characters.
