john9210 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 My FM 17 Pro does not have a Page margin option in the View menu, in layout mode. How can I show the page margins in layout mode so I can see that everything fits on the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwoods Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I think FM17 always shows page breaks and page margins when in preview mode. The grey area outside of the normal parts (body, header etc) are the page margins. They aren't hugely useful, and FileMaker will never print anything in those areas anyway, but it gives you an idea as to how much 'White Space' will exist around your layouts when you print.

john9210 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes, but what a pain switching back and forth between layout and preview as you work. In previous FM versions you could see page margins in the layout mode, making it much easier to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Margins and Breaks are visible in Layout mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john9210 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 You're using a Mac. I'm using FM 17 for the PC. No Page Margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 wow learn something new every day, probably why windows can specify print options like mac such as page reduction percentages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Martino Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 They're in 16. Maybe they moved them. Can't imagine they removed them in 17 just for a PC. Maybe it's a glich and needs to be reported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
