OPC Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 Is there a way of making one field output into colums of text? This field is a sub category... and can have up to 200 entries in it (all one word or two). Currently when I gneralte a list report it runs for pages. What I would like to do is make a second column to save paper - there is heaps of room... Any thoughts on this?

aaa Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 The way that i see: Construct two or few portals, but this will be difficult. Other way: to export to other aplication, then put in this application.

Vaughan Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Have you tried setting the layout option to print in two columns? Depending on the layout, it may only print in two or more columns when set to across first, or down first (can't remember which). As a last resort, some printer drivers allow multiipage layouts -- 2, 4 or more pages printed on the one sheet of paper. This is a printer driver function -- nothing to do with FMP itself. I'm pretty sure that postscript printer drivers offer this feature: not sure about others.

BobWeaver Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Assuming the items are on separate lines in the field, you could make several calculated fields to split the main field into parts, and then display the calc fields side by side. For 3 columns you could do this: LinesPerColumn = Int((PatternCount(Textfield;"
