Dear collective FMwisdom,
From The Netherlands I wish everyone a happy new year.
Can anyone help me with the following problems. All three appear when I want to print bibliographical records with filemaker.
- Sliding objects when using merge fields. The problem is that when different merge-fields are defined in a layout below each other, they do not shrink totally when empty. For example if the first 2 merge fields in a layout are empty and the 3rd is not empty the 2 empty merge-fields leave a 2 line space. Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
- The reason why I used merge-fields is that Filemaker apparently cannot contain different character types in one field, and it can within merge fields. Does anyone has experience with that?
- In a print-layout I want different records to be printed and have the range of the item numbers (where item number is a field defined in the database) which are presented on each page printed at the upper right corner. So if records nos. 231 till 260 appear on the page I want this range to be printed
'231-260' at the upper right corner of the page. Is there a solution to do so?
- In the same way I would like to have a dictionary style running head printed at the left upper corner of each page. For example when the bibliographical records of works from bach to beethoven are presented on one page I would like to have these running heads printed at the upper left corner of the page: 'bach-beethoven'. Anyone?
All suggestions welcome.
