August 21, 200322 yr Hopefully someone can help me! I'm creating a Business Plan. It's an outline setup that can be filled in the fields. I put each part of the outline in a different layout. To print I put the fields all together in one layout and used slide/printing to get rid of spaces. (Because aparently there is no other way) When I preview what the printing will look like, the space is to big between fields. Is their a way to choose how big the spaces between are. Or does someone know another way to do this?
August 21, 200322 yr Sliding can be tricky sometimes. If you want specific spacing, you can always use a calculated field instead. For example, If you're printing addresses on envelopes, you can arrange it like this with sliding: [FIRST_NAME] [MIDDLE_INITIAL] [LAST_NAME] [sTREET_ADDRESS] [APARTMENT] [CITY] [sTATE] [ZIP_CODE] Or, if you want it to look absolutely perfect, you would create three new calculated fields: FirstAddressLine = FIRST_NAME & " " & MIDDLE_INITIAL & " " & LAST_NAME SecondAddressLine = STREET_ADDRESS & " " & APARTMENT ThirdAddressLine = CITY & ", " & STATE & " " & ZIP_CODE You can also put cases in there, so that if there is no middle initial, only one space appears between the first & last names, etc. Then, in the layout you just use the following: [FirstAddressLine] [secondAddressLine] [ThirdAddressLine] This is handy for all sorts of commonly used combinations of data. Hope that helps -Stanley
August 26, 200322 yr Author The address line isn't what I'm looking for because I'm not doing a name and address. The outline is 20 pages long. Each field is a page a piece. When I slide/printing it leaves messy space, some little some large. HELP ME!!!
