long text printing overlap w/ field names

Featured Replies

I have followed the instructions to extend a text field over the length of the longest possible entry. Then I did the slide up option to shrink it for any short entries and selected page break for each occurrence. Now, in Preview mode, the second page of a record with a long text in the text field prints right over the field names on the second page. The odd thing, is that on the layout, these names are not there- only once where they should be. Then, on the second page in Preview mode, they are actually upside down so it is like a mirror opposite of the original page. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

All I want is to print out a data form with the last field to be a text field where I can write summary and recommendations for that client. All of the fields work fine when there is only one page. But now that I have expanded the last field to cover another page in the Layout mode, it duplicates these fields upside down in Preview and Print.

Thanks for any help.

It definitely sounds like a bug. Which Filemaker version, platform, and operating system are you using?
