I entered a password record consisting of three columns and spaced them to accommodate the text. When I tried to print the pages only columns A and B printed. I would appreciate advice on how to print the complete record thank you.
I have two Win 10 Home laptops. One has a start menu with one three tile column. The other has a start menu with two three tile columns. I have forgotten how to get the second three tile column. Any help will be appreciated.
