Newbie: I just want to print!

Postby mcmitton » Tue May 15, 2012 6:43 am

After downloading Geo-64, I saw that Express plug-in is not supported. So, I un-installed 64-Geo, downloaded 32-Geo and then Express plug-in. They are both listed under Programs in my control panel.

I do not see how to invoke the plug-in, to enable me to print.

Folks, I don't want to become an expert, nor even half-way capable with Geo, I just need to print a couple of *.SID chart sections for one project.

Can you direct me?

Newbie, but sooooo old,

ExpressView Browser Plug-in works inside of a web browser, like Internet Explorer. You can now open MrSID files in Internet Explorer.

Open Internet Explorer, then drag one of the MrSID files on top of it.

I hope that helps.

Newbie: Additional information

I should have written that the only place I see the "Express" listed at all is in "Programs and Features" within the Control Panel choices, Windows 7, and the choices are to Change or Uninstall.

It doesn't have a "program" icon on my desktop, noris it listed in the list of programs revealed by pressing the Windows button in the lower left corner, and selecting "All Programs".

I don't see how I can drag anything to it from the GeoViewer - as there is nothing to drag TO.

Sorry to be such a bother, but I still think these products are the best approach to my task.

P.S. Thank you for your fast response.

ExpressView is not a program that will appear in your start menu. It is not a program that opens on its own.

It opens in a web browser.

Please do this:

Open Internet Explorer (to browse the web).

Drag a MrSID file from your desktop on top of Internet Explorer.

ExpressView will then open in Internet Explorer.

Newbie: Printing! but without Continuous Zoom or Help

Postby mcmitton » Wed May 16, 2012 8:47 am

Thank you for pointing out the obvious so kindly. Most all work as advertised, and I am well underway with my project.

By the way, to activate "continuous zoom" I right-clicked to check that. But it doesn't zoom variably. It only allows me to zoom at the increments on the bar.

And the "Help" question mark does nothing.

Again, many many thanks for your rapid response!

Mary Carolyn

Probably another "doooh" moment for me?
