Hiya,


Do you mean the points lists to everyday foods/zero point foods etc? If so,
just copy and paste the relevent bits into notepad or MS Word or whatever
and print them from there - that's what I did

I don't do the ONLINE program but others here do. They should be able
to point you to pages that can be downloaded or copied or printed
since on occasion, they have provided references to such materials.

Also, I know that I found some link to Palm software on the OPEN
portion of the site so there is something. From what some have
written, you link or sync with that software. I don't believe it is
independent but functions in conjunction with the online site.

There is 3rd party palm software which WW has tried to stiffle and
someone can probably post a link to that.

But, in any event, welcome to this place.

Welcome to the group. From what I understand, there is no place to download
point info from the online program. There is palm program as part of eTools
that works as long as you maintain your membership. I don't know if it is
available for those doing the online program.

There is a Yahoo group that has the food/point lists that you can download
yourself. It does require the "list" program, IIRC. My palm died last year
and I have not gotten around to reloading anything. But here is the link:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...or-palm/files/. You don't have
to join the list to get to these files.They were recently updated for the
core program but they never bothered to send the files out to the members.
Also, the food lists are for US points so you will need to keep that in mind
if there are anything different in the Canada calcuation.

Hi Jon,

First I'd like to welcome you to the group. Second, in regards to your
question about the online lists that you can print. If you are a paid
member
of WW Online Canada you can print the lists from their website.

Logon to the site, then on the left side of the page below the Points
Tracker there
is a drop down menu "Select a Resource". Click on the arrow and choose
printable food lists. Then you can print each one off and carry them with
you if you feel you need to do that.

I printed it off when I first began WW Online 2 years ago and it seems to me
that it was close to 30 pages long. You can also just copy and past the
bits you want into your word processor, then print just those.

Good luck.

If it is 30 pages long maybe it would be better to print it to a pdf file
that you can save on your hard drive for reference.
