technoranger Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I have a solution with large text fields which may or not have lots if info in them. I set the fields to slide up if blank...that wowrks fine, but some lines, including text labels are broken across pages resulting in the upper portion of letters on one page and lower portions on another. Is there anyway to control page breaks? I attempted to do a search, but couldn't find a solution. Thanks, Rick
IdealData Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 This has been a long standing problem in FMP, but it looks like it might be fixed in v8. See Topic #169575. I wrote a word processor DB which is in constant use in my company and the only way we could work it was to preview and then insert returns until the page breaks ot it right. I'm just thinking about splitting my large text field into related records, and then limiting the data entry in each field.
DykstrL Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Make sure you have defined fixed page margins for your print layout. Also, if you use <> on your print layout, you will find that they handle page breaks much better than regular fields.
