Printing a field in multiple columns

Featured Replies

Hi:

I'm trying to print a large field on one page of a form body. The contents of the field won't fit on one page, but will fit if I could print it in two columns. Is there any way to format a field that will print in multiple columns?

You could use a couple of calculation fields to split the field into two fields. However, it's going to be difficult to estimate the length of a column since most fonts are variable-width and not monospaced. Courier is a monospaced font and it look a lot like a typewriter as with most monospaced fonts. Therefore, it is not a very good solution. If you do estimate the length of a variable-width font, you never know exactly how long the text is going to be because it depends on the characters used. Anyhow, if you decide to split the field into two using calculation fields, you can use the Left and Right functions.

However, it might be best to tell us why you want to do this so as to possibly provide an alternative solution.
