Try this:  Block what you what to go to a file and then choose:

                File|Printer Setup|Redirect to File

That does it for me.  Good Luck.


=/=//=

What this does is print the block to a binary prn file, that can then
be "copied" to the printer.  This is not the objective.  What I want
is a formated, ascii file, complete with hard spaces, so that I can
import to a WordPerfect file without having to futz around with column
alignment.

Redirecting to a file doesn't serve this purpose.
