Making a "Book" from GSAK

Post by Cached » 02 June 05 11:34 am

Hi Guys,

How do you get GSAK to print a selection of caches in alphabetical order or to export to one large file for printing?

Thanks

OK, try this, there may be an easier way, but this worked for me...

1. Export as a HTML File, this will create a Folder called "Cache" wherever you would like to save it.

2. Open from Internet explorer the file within the Cache folder called "_2NameIndex" (open IE & go "File, Open, Browse ...")

3. right click, then print

4. before you press print, go to print options & tick the box that says "Print all linked documents"

Hey presto, a heap of cache pages with an alphabetical index...

hope this helps

Knew it had to be something like that.

Thanks!

OR
Do a filter in GSAK to select all the caches you want. Click on the name heading to alphabetize them. Select Print. They will all be shown on screen as one continuous document. Click Edit, Select All, Copy, then go into Microsoft word, and select Paste. Now you can also print your book from any computer (ie work etc) without needing to have GSAK in order to print.

I put a thread up on this many months back, but dont know where it has gone. Also when printing your book, before binding, placing a few blank pages at the front & again at the rear is helpful for notes, logs, workings etc,.

I ended up making the HTML export from GSAK and then importing the HTML into Acrobat and worked from there.
