I am looking for a way to print play slips from a notepad. I mean printing play slips from the number combination saved on my computer using "lottery director software" printing software. I have a software that does the wheeling really great like I like it, only problem, they don't offer a printing software. Does anyone know if the software they have here could accept numbers from a notepad..like copy and paste then print them without using lottery director's software?
...Or can your program accept numbers generated from a different software and print them for me? I am so tired of doing it manually, takes too much time.
You can print your playslips using Lottery Director Free Wheeling.
... It's Freeware, nothing to buy.
... It's installed automatically when you install the Lottery Director Free Trial software.
Start your software, and you'll see your Free Wheeling icon.
... Click on it, and then click on your 'PrintGen' icon.
'PrintGen' is the Free Wheeling program that prints playslips.
- - -
It will print your playslips from a plain text file, like you can make with the Windows Notepad.
... (Instead of Notepad, you can also use your Lottery Director Files Editor, which is more powerful. You'll see its icon too.)
- - -
Here's how to make your text file:
... Make your file with Notepad, or the LD Files Editor, or with any standard word processor program.
... Put only combinations in the file: no 'line numbers', introductory information, or anything else.
... Just the combinations -- one combination per line.
... First combination on the first line -- no blank lines.
... Make sure your last combination is terminated with your 'Enter' key. (Sounds obvious, but some folks overlook it when working with a word processor program.)
Put the file into your Lottery Director 'Wheels' folder:
"C:(backslash)Ldir(backslash)Wheels"
You can find the 'Wheels' folder using your 'Windows Explorer' or 'My Computer'.
... Note: It's easy to put it in the right place, if you use your Lottery Director Files Editor.
... (Your LD Files Editor 'knows' where to put the file.)

Playslip Layout Files:
Also make sure you've downloaded and installed the "Playslip Layout File" for your game.
... Playslip Layout Files are free downloads at this Lottery Director web site.
... They tell the software where to print the 'marks' on the playslips.
... They're available for many US, Canada, and international games.
If you haven't installed the Playslip Layout File for your game yet, you'll find the information on your Downloads page here.
- - -
That's it.
Summary:
... Make your text file. Give it a '.TXT' name, like "MYCOMBO.TXT" (your choice).
... Put it in your Lottery Director 'Wheels' folder.
... Run your LD Free Wheeling 'PrintGen' program to print your playslips.
(First, you should have downloaded and installed the Playslip Layout File for your game.)
