accuraterealty Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I need to put in a 15 page contract in filemaker, but the layout will only go up to 110 inches. So is there a way i can a) Extend the length of the layout or : Make a 2nd column to print. Eg: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x normal page x 2nd column page x normal page x 2nd column page x normal page x 2nd column page x normal page x 2nd column page x normal page x 2nd column page
Fitch Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 You could break your text into 2 or 3 layouts for printing, and make a script that goes to one layout, prints, goes to next layout, prints, etc.
accuraterealty Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 i was trying to avoid doing that...could i extend the width of a page of 16, then split the page in 2 columns, or would that mess up with the printing? i'll check later.
dwins Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I would take Fitch's suggestion a step further and have one view/print page to a layout - 15 layouts. Nothing faster than clicking from page to page, nothing slower than trying to scroll around when it's spread over 110 inches. And you design where the page breaks are, etc. However, if you're dead set on one layout you could miniaturize everything then set your Page Setup to 150, or whatever, percent.
