Sending the print to the screen it looks exactly like I would expect, except of course that the text isn't flipped 180 degrees landscape which is what the print is doing for me.

There isn't a left margin on the screen output so it looks like it's when the printer flips it

The rotate from within a Foxpro field in the report generator doesn't seem to work?

Just tried Minds Eye Report Engine and drew the text on manually then rotated it, but when I attempt to print all I get is
a page eject? Presume Minds Eye will be sending the report as pure graphics? Will there be a mode I maybe need to
turn on with the printer? Just a thought.
