[APBeta] Slow preview operations

[Anthony Tripodi]

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do that.

I can do this:

Window title is "Print Objects". Printing script is "default". Task is 
"Object data". Page header included "Plan file name". Page footer 
includes "Page number, date/time, plan file name". Restrictions include 
nothing checked. Options include "Include all-blank object fields, 
Compressed mode, grid lines". Object fields to include "ID, name, 
chart#, constellation, declination, magnitude, magnitude 2, position 
angle, R.A., rising time, separation, setting time, transit time, notes".

I hope that is what you require. If not, I'll get someone to show me how 
to send a screen shot. Most probably my 9 year old grandson.(I hate it 
when kids are smarter than me.)

Take care,

Tony
