Why aren't my labels printing correctly? How do I see a summary of all the information for a particular wine? Click on any wine in any list (Cellar, Tasted, Wish List, Out of Stock, Gen Label Info, Ratings, On Order) to go directly to the Wine Summary page. This form offers a complete summary of ALL the information you have entered about a wine on an easy to read page that you can also print. Why can’t I change any information in List layouts or Wine Summary? PWC operates on the principle that you will be viewing your wines in many different ways, but editing them in only one way. You MUST click an "edit" button in order to change information about a wine. This way you will not accidentally change any information. What if I don’t see the entry field I want...where do I put that information? Most information you will want to enter has its own entry field. If you don't see what you are looking for, use the general Notes field. Why don't my Lists print the same way they look on the screen? Printed pages have been formatted to fit neatly on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper and are free of graphics. All information on these pages is exactly the same as what you are viewing on the screen. If you are viewing wines in any of the Lists and only see a partial list of thoses wines, you are viewing a sub-set (e.g., a search result for a particular vintage). Click "All" on the Alphabet Tab to restore the list to your entire collection. Why do some of my wines have no maturity status? To generate a maturity status for a wine, you must enter both a "drink after" and a "drink by" date in the Wine Tab entry form. Click "edit" from the Cellar List, then enter the dates, and a maturity status will appear from then on. If you want PWC to get maturity dates for a wine, you must enter a distinction and a sub-region, region or country. Not all wines will generate a suggestion for aging. Why aren’t there any food pairing suggestions for a particular wine? You must enter a "distinction" in the Wine Tab entry form to generate food pairing suggestions. Click "edit" from the Cellar List, then enter a distinction, and food pairings will appear from then on. How do I get PWC onto my second computer? PWC is licensed to be used on a maximum of two computers, provided that the software is used only by the licensed and registered user. To view your data on a second computer, you will have to place the ENTIRE PWC FOLDER onto your other computer. First, copy the folder from your program files (applications folder on Mac) to some removable media (CD, memory stick, ipod, etc.), then place the ENTIRE PWC FOLDER on your second computer in your Program Files folder on your local C drive (Applications folder on a Mac). IMPORTANT! Be sure to keep track of any changes you make from one computer to another! Why is my printer only printing one page or wine of my report or list? Windows users: In your print setup window you will see a drop down menu that reads "Print:" -- make sure this is set to "records being browsed" (not "current record"). Is it possible to display additional fields on the Cellar List page? You may not actually change the fields on the Cellar List page. HOWEVER, you may view and/or print a "printer friendly" version of your Cellar List, exactly as you have it sorted, etc. In the printer friendly version you will see region AND sub-region. To view/print the "printer friendly" version of your Cellar, click the "Print" button on the black Navigation Bar. Is it possible to display additional fields on the Reports? You cannot alter information that appears on reports. Reports aren't really intended to show you ALL the information about every wine. Rather, they should be used as visual tools to see the shape of your collection. How do I change my monitor resolution? Windows users: right-click on your desktop, choose "properties," then go to the "settings" tab. Near the bottom of that window is the screen resolution slider. Slide the little marker until the resolution reads 1024x768. Why aren't my labels printing correctly? Make sure you are using the correct size labels. Make sure your page setup (print setup) is configured correctly for those labels. All this information is listed for you on the "ID Labels" page of PWC. (The dialogue boxes/prompts also specify how to configure your printer info -- make sure you read them!)
