Mirrored Headers and Footers

In the past, I've produced annual directories by exporting data from FileMaker and formatting the resulting text file through a Quark Plug-In called Xdata.

What I want to do is print a 3-column document (roughly 600 pages in a 10-point font) with mirrored headers/footers (i.e., facing pages or alternating left and right headers and footers) directly from FileMaker Pro 5.0. Is that possible? confused.gif

Yes, with a few calculated fields.

All of the information that you want to appear on odd pages should be in unstored calculated fields of the form:

Case(Mod(Status(CurrentPageNumber),2),"Odd page header text or field references","")

And for even pages:

Case(Mod(Status(CurrentPageNumber),2),"","Even page header text or field references")

Then place all of these fields on the header and footer parts. The Calculations will determine which information is actually displayed.
