Report Cards Report Writer
Using the Task List
Using the Task List
Although the Report Cards Report Writer is extremely powerful and versatile, the vast
majority of the time you will use it to perform a handful of standard tasks, including
printing report cards, transcripts and permanent labels.
NOTE:
The task you select determines which specifications appear.
Using Tasks #1-7 to Print Report Cards and Transcripts
Notice that there are two tasks for printing report cards and four tasks for printing
transcripts. Though you may use all of them, you will most likely use one of each. For
example, if your school prints a wide report card on a pre-printed form, then you should
choose Task #1, “Print a WIDE Report Card”, rather than Task #2, “Print a Narrow
Report Card”. The same holds for transcripts: you will print either wide or narrow
transcripts, and you will print them either by department or by year. The default report
for the task you choose will appear in Specification #3: ACTIVE LETTER/REPORT
You can choose to accept the default report or choose another pre-formatted or
customized report. The following section describes each task in the task list.
NOTE:
Although any of the reports included in Report Cards Report Writer will work with a dot
matrix as well as a laser or inkjet printer, some modifications to the report designed for use
with a laser or inkjet printer may be needed to make them work properly with a dot matrix
printer. For information on editing reports, see “View/Edit Letters/Reports” on page 7-32
