Hello,

I use SPREAD32 to do some tables. Now I need to print them, but I can see how to do it.

[]s

File -> Print or Ctrl+P

In my copy of Spread32 (version 2.01), there's the normal Print entry in the File menu, which also offers the standard keyboard shortcut in parentheses (Ctrl+P).

In the last freeware version (1.18) [http://www.321download.com/LastFreeware/page14.html] there is a print dialogue. Note that versions after 1.18 are not freeware, but are shareware.

Thanks, Cornflower - I switched to the last free version. I don't remember where I got 2.1, but I had somehow thought of it as nagware - even though the nag popup states that it's shareware! Version 1.18 seems to be just as good, anyway.

According to the web site, http://www.byedesign.freeserve.co.uk/devdiary.htm the current version is 2.02 .

The version without the Print dialog is probably the one from the FloppyOffice bundle, in the database.

Version 1.18 is a good find. The program uses the registry, however. (Although, you can run it from a USB stick, recent files and such are what is stored in the Registry.)

I liked this program so much that I registered it. I have talked to the author several times. In Version 2.02, Stephen started to make it portable. However a small bug remains. The next release has it fixed. No word on a release date, though.

Regards,
Dan

I use version V19991112 Beta, the last freeware release.

It´s very instable.

Thanks for all

That is not the last freeware release (version V19991112 Beta) - it's the very limited release in Floppy Office / Tiny USB Office that is completely portable and stealth.

As Cornflower said, the last free version is 1.18

For lack of a better option, I made the present one the official forum topic for Spread32 (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=561).

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Other-Office-Tools/Spread32.shtml wrote:[Spread32 is a] Straightforward application that provides users with a simple means of creating spreadsheets, adding all sorts of formulas and elements, and export data to a file.

Spread32 isn't fully portable, since it saves (some minor) settings in the system registry at 'HKCU\Software\Bye Design\Spread32', which can be solved with the following config for yaP launcher:

Code: Select all

; configuration file for yaP v0.6.19 (http://rolandtoth.hu/yaP/)
; application name: Spread32
; version: v1.18
; website: http://www.byedesign.co.uk/

[GENERAL]
application = App\Spread32.exe
; commandline = 
; workdir = 

[BEFORE]
regkey =  HKCU\Software\Bye Design\Spread32
; dir = %Appdata%\Dir
; file = %Appdata%\Dir\File.ini
; regkey = HKCU\Software\RegKey

[AFTER]
-regkey = HKCU\Software\Bye Design :: ifempty
...
Spread32 homepage is at http://www.byedesign.co.uk/, but it has gone shareware in latest versions (currently v2.05; changelog is at http://www.byedesign.co.uk/devdiary.htm).

Spread32 v1.18, the last freeware version, can be downloaded from www.321download.com/LastFreeware/page14.html#Spread32.

@webfork: please amend OP/move this topic as you see fit. Thanks in advance. :)

@Lintalist: true, but please note the following from the program homepage...

The Shareware version is free and not time-limited

FTR, Spread32 latest shareware release is currently v3.06 (mixed changelog at http://www.byedesign.co.uk/devdiary.htm; shareware versions download available from http://www.byedesign.co.uk/s32/).

@Midas

But buried in the FAQ is:
The only difference between the Shareware and Registered versions is that the Shareware version has a message that is displayed each time you use one of the File menu options.
So, you know, "free"! :wink:

Correct.

All file operations (open, save, and so on) trigger the display of the dialog box below; none of the data editing options do that, though...
