HELP: W-I-D-E text file



HELP!

I have this text file of a database which is preformatted 175 characters
wide by 45 lines per page.

I have a ROM 01 IIgs running GS/OS 6.0.1.

I have an Imagewriter II.

The database file is a plain-text report generated on my ][e using PFS:Report.

I have EGOEd Lite, Teach, and GraphicWriter III.

The file is too large to import into GraphicWriter III.  Teach and EGOEd
Lite both open the file just fine.

EGOEd Lite and Teach both use the TextEdit toolset, and neither seems to
support wide pages.  But both my standard ImageWriter driver and my
Perfect Image driver support landscape printing.  If my calculations are
correct, my datafile should fit the page properly IF printed landscape.

The problem is, how do I get the thing to print full width on the page? 
Is there a trick I am missing?  Do I need to break this thing up into
pages and do it with GraphicWriter?  Do I need to abandon GS/OS and use
Sideways (I have that available as well, but I have never used it)?  Is
there something out there that can help?  Am I making any sense?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
