printTextSize

The printTextSize property returns or sets the value of the default text size (or point size) used by the print command. The default value is 10.

When you print a report, HyperCard determines the default text size for a report item as follows:

• If the report item is the text of a card or background field, HyperCard uses the text size of the field.
• If the report item is generated from any other HyperTalk expression, HyperCard uses the value of the printTextSize.

In either case, the user can override the default size by selecting a size in the Item Info dialog box of the report item.
