Can't set initial page number!

I am printing various sections of a report. Eventually, this will be duplicated double-sided, and each section needs to start on a RIGHT-hand page (odd page number). It's always been simplest just to find one section at a time and then print it, setting the initial page number in "filemaker options" in the print driver.

It's not working under osx - I'm always seeing the page number start at 1!

Any suggestions or clues?

thanks!

You can create an unstored calculated field cPageNumber = Status(CurrentPageNumber)+gStartingPageNo-1

where gStartingPageNo is a global field containing the desired starting page number. Then, rather than use the ## page number symbol on your report layout, use cPageNumber in a merge field. This will allow you to set a starting page (in a script) number without having to deal with the print dialog.
