Nifty! TextEdit & printing

*blinks*

Windows people, this won't help you, but you can read to see the kind of neat stuff us Mac folk get.

I have some long text tables that I'm printing for homework. TextEdit is open wide, 120+ columns. I have all the stuff formatted and looking sharp, but I'm scared about printing it - if it drops it to 80 columns, stuff won't fit. So, I zip out a page.

And, the text is *tiny* - readable, but... hey, the same amount of stuff on a line as the window!

Resize the window to just fit the longest formatted tables. Print. And, the tables come out just the right size to fit on the paper!

TextEdit, instead of just printing generic 80 column stuff, scales the printed text so the functional width is the same as the TextEdit window!

Neato!
