text columns(simple)

[trailoftealeaves]

Hey all, this is my first time posting, this is a very cool forum. my question is as follows

I have a relatively large list of text items. (delimited by returns) and I'm trying to print as many as possible onto cd labels. is it possible to some how get two columns of the same text field?

I've included my (2DAYS AMETUER)applescript I'm recieving the text from for giggles.

if anyone could help, it would be greatly apprecieated.

thanks matthew aidekman

Hi Mathew,

Welcome to the forum.

If you put Filemaker into layout mode then go to the 'Layouts' menu and select the 'Layout Setup...' command, then in the resulting dialog, click oin the tab labeled 'Printing', you'll find yourself looking at the set-up options for making the layout preview and print in column formation. If you go through a bit of trial and error with the settings, you should be able to get a set up that suits your purposes.
