Forcing page breaks

[dpassovoy]

I have a report that consists of several pages of text, all within the BODY. It is neatly formatted so page breaks occur at the right location. Unfortunately, each print driver is slightly different, so when I change printers the page breaks occur at different locations within the text, thereby messing up the report.

I am told by FM that there is no ability to insert a page break into the BODY section. Any solution to this problem?

Try setting the layout to use fixed margins (set big enough to suit all your printers) that way they won't move around.

Page breaks can be achived by splitting the report over multiple records, but it's a lot of work and does not suit all (or many) situations.

Brilliant! It worked perfectly (fixed margins). Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't know why after a 30 minute conversation with FM support, including escalation, and scouring Help and online forums, nothing revealed this simple solution.

Because the problems was probably focussed on the changing of printers, not on the layout design. :D
