Hi,

No matter what I choose all I get is a blank page. I have managed to sort 
out a work around but its less than good.

Im going to have to look at another option instead of GNU sadly after 4 
years

Donald I made a mistake and clicked on "Reply" rather than "Reply to
List"  Disregard my previous email and address this one instead.

Your export is blank because you are looking at a blank page.  You first
have to have something on the screen to export.

When you click on the Printer as suggested by Greg do you get a popup?
If so look at the menu items again.  This time click on the "Gear"
icon.  There you will have a "Style Sheet" drop-down selection.  Test
those and let us know which one(s) if any gives you output.
