In HyperCard 2.0, under the print stack option, there is an option to print only marked cards. How can cards get marked for printing?

How can cards get marked for printing? Help! Look under the "Objects" menu, and choose Card. Check the box labelled "Card Marked". Cards can also be marked from within a script - "mark card cardToPrint", or whatever. -- * Rob Weinberg, graphics & publishing ***** Does a falling tree make a sound * * {uunet,pyramid}!infmx!robertw ***** if 1: no one hears it * * => Ask me about me. ***** BUT 2: it is not known that * * => Ask Informix about Informix. ***** no one hears it? *

Get the message box on your screen (from the Go-menu or by cmd-m) en type: unmark all cards and then go to the first card you want to be printed and type mark this card and visit the other card you want to print and type <return>.

A nifty way to provide easy card marking is illustrated in the sample stack for addresses (comes with HC 2.0). They put a button in the upper right hand corner with the "mark card" script. When you click the button (the corner of the card) it is changed to a dog-eared corner (folded over) so you know it is marked. This is handy for browsing through a stack and marking cards without having to pull down the "card info..." menu. I don't know the entire script set up from memory (my Mac is at home, I suffer with a DOS machine at work), but I'm sure it isn't too complicated. -- J.

Please forgive me if this has been discussed before but. . .
Is there a way to specify cards to print in a report on HC 1.2.5?
I've got a big database of names for a mailing label list that I'd
like to select certain cards for printing as labels. Being able to
select individual cards would help me out a lot.
Thanks for your help

I've done things like:
on print_element_report
global ELEMENT_BACKGROUND
unmark all cards
repeat with i = 2 to number of cards of bg ELEMENT_BACKGROUND
if <<the conditions you want to report>> then
mark card i of bg ELEMENT_BACKGROUND
endif
end repeat
sort marked cards of this stack by << the fields to sort by>>
open report printing with template "elements_report"
print marked cards
close printing
end print_element_report
which seems to work OK - depends on the number of cards you have to walk

> repeat with i = 2 to number of cards of bg ELEMENT_BACKGROUND > if <<the conditions you want to report>> then > mark card i of bg ELEMENT_BACKGROUND > endif > end repeat Faster to say mark cards where <<the conditions you want to report>> in place of the loop. You can add something like "and the short name of this bg is ..." to the conditions if you need to. * Origin: The Clone: Macintosh Things - 301-946-8677 (1:109/421.911)
