Custom Flipchart PRINT problem

[Westlake]

Is it possible to Print a custom flipchart so that each page is full-size rather than a tiny thumbnail in a narrow strip?
Can a custom flipchart be Exported to separate pages in a Word document or (getting desperate here..) a Powerpoint?
Can a custom flipchart be viewed using Flipchart Viewer?
Is there any other way to get the pages out full-size???

Hi, are your custom pages very different to the normal pages? When I print a flipchart, each page is A4 by default see attached. :confused:

[Westlake]

Yes, the custom flipchart is a continuous strip 1 page wide and extending for as many pages as you select when setting up the custom option.
The problem is that Print seems to jam ALL the pages into a narrow strip fitting onto a single A4 page :(

Is your problem the same as Craig's?

If yes, see the last post on the thread - does this help? :)

Thanks for your advice Sheelagh - yes, I can see this will do the job one page at a time.. :(
Not sure the teacher will be very happy about this, but at least now he can get the day's work out to the class.

I am still looking forward to any other suggestions and also wondering if it is possible to open a custom flipchart using Flipchart Viewer?

OK - had a bit of a play and came up with this: pretty clunky, so I am still hoping that there is a quicker/neater way to do this!

Have the custom flipchart open AND a new standard flipchart at the same time.
Use the A in the top right corner on the flipchart page to toggle between each flipchart.
Use the Camera Tool to snapshot each page of the custom flp (Fullscreen > to Clipboard) then Paste that into a new page in the standard flp.
Could also use a similar method to Paste each page into a Word document.

If Flipchart Viewer can't open a custom flipchart, then this is a way of getting the pages into a 'readable' flipchart, but without all the good stuff - Actions, links etc :(

PS still hoping that someone from Promethean will come up with the info about how to Print without going through such a clumsy workaround...

Sorry, there is no easy way of printing it.
The custom flipchart is one page, just displayed in a different way & the print option prints by page & there is no way of splitting it up.

However, you can view custom flipcharts in the flipchart viewer.

Thanks for your clear answer Louise - at least now we know what can/can't be done.
