Printing does not work, is it me or Logos? Are we locked in and cant get out???

I have spent countless hours pouring stuff into the Logos software. Not to educate a dumb computer, but to use the research in real life. I keep getting the feeling that Logos wants us locked into man-machine time and not actually use what we learn.

The reason I say this is printing.

For example, I have learnt that if one uses Emphasis Markup and for example manually highlight all verses that pertain to baptism. Then if you go to that document and choose "save as passage list" that Logos creates a very useful collection of verses pertaining to baptism. If the list is short, no problem you can print it out. If the list is long, well, you can see it but NO , you CANT print it!

The printing then just goes so far and adds .... and stops!

Try emphasis markup a whole book, eg Isaiah.

What is going on?

Are we captives inside the little Logos world?

Please help. If this is so I'm going to ditch Logos.

There is a limit of 100 pages to print, but I was able to export a List of 6550 passages to Word which was predicted to be 129 pages but came out as 212 pages. It should be possible to print that from Word!?

As long as you are still wanting to print the passages you put into a PL then try what I suggested.

I tried exporting to a PDF and was hoping to print out from that. Gave the same errors.

The point is really why are we limited? It is just not right. Its like having to ask the bank to spend your own money thats in your own account. Why are we limited to any number? I think that we should voice our complaints to Logos. I am just not prepared to spend all this time in their software if I am not able to use the fruits of my labour.

Thanks for you tip, I shall try the workaround.

To appease copyright holders.

Its like having to ask the bank to spend your own money thats in your own account.

In this case, it's like asking the bank to pay out your entire $50,000 balance in nickels: it "should" be allowed, but it may not be practical. [:)]

Why are we limited to any number?

There are memory and resource constraints associated with preparing the print preview: a printout of hundreds of pages would run out of memory and crash the system. We chose 100 pages as a reasonably high limit that would allow most common uses of the Print feature; I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've had complaints about this limit for user-created documents.

You raise a valid point, though, and there may be ways that we can modify the software to fix this. Perhaps we can show a truncated preview but print the whole document (for user-created documents)? Alternatively, a 64-bit version of Logos may be able to lift this and other limitations.

Thanks for your feedback, and I hope Dave's workaround works for you in the meantime.

Thanks for the clarification Bradley. [:)]

Bradley ... that answer comes under the 'duh' category. Previewing and printing's been around since the 80s with considerably smaller buffers. Back in the 'old' days, you told the user about limited preview (often with selective page ranges) but print 'forever'. Logos has certainly come a long way.
