Layout too large to fit on page

[David D]

We are using File Maker Pro 6 on windows XP. One of our databases has a form that is too large to print on one page, even if we use legal paper set as landscape. The owner will not allow us to redo the layout to be more printer friendly. My question is, how do I make filemaker 6 for the PC shrink the layout down to fit on one sheet of paper without changing the layout? Is this possible? Thanks!

Two things you might consider ...

Leave your one layout intact. This will keep your boss happy. And just create a second layout using smaller fonts which will be used only for printing. If User wants to print the form, they don't even need to know their existing layout isn't the one printing. You can handle it all behind the scenes.

Most printers allow setups which will reduce the magnification of a page.

File->Page Setup, change the scale. These settings can then be stored in scripts.
