Printing

The simplest way to print a file while you are in the visual development environment is to choose File/Print from the file menu. You are prompted for the file name and the file is printed on the printer connected to your computer.

You can also print files with the extension .F90, .FOR, .FD, .FI, or .RC by dragging the file from Windows Explorer and dropping it on the Print Manager icon.

If you have drawn graphics on the screen and want to print the screen, the simplest way is to press the key combination ALT+PRINT SCREEN. This copies the active window (the one with graphical focus) onto the Clipboard. (If you only press PRINT SCREEN, it prints your entire screen including any background applications.)

Once you have copied your screen onto the Clipboard, open Paintbrush and select Edit/Paste to paste the image from the Clipboard into Paintbrush, then select File/Print to print it to the printer connected to your computer. You can also save the image as a bitmap (.BMP) file.
