Fields shift when printed.

Featured Replies

I am using FM 5.5 on a windows system. When I try to print to my HP Laser, the fields move. I have a text box in the back with the main layout and fields on top of that. They look perfectly laid out on screen, but when printed move all over the place. I think the spacing of the text box text is changing when printed.

I got around the problem, by individually moving each field(and after wasting almost a ream of paper front and back) it is now posistioned correctly. But a fix would be nice for the future. I put a script on a button on the form that is laid out perfectly on screen that prints out the other layout.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Make sure the "sliding" is turned off in the sliding/printing menu for all fields you do not want to slide. Also make sure the fonts you are using are standard Microsoft True Type fonts, or if using postscript fonts that you have ATM installed.
