print part of layout in columns

[joniraincloud]

I have a Job Ticket layout that is a bunch of fields at the top, one field in the middle, and more fields at the bottom.

The middle field ("Additional Information") is the biggest field and can be blank or have many lines of information.

Is it possible to make just the "Additional Information" field print in two columns? I want to keep this Job Ticket to 1 page and I think if I could put the Additional Information field into columns, that would solve my problem. As it is, we just print it with the information cut off if it extends too far.

Thanks!

Hi joniraincloud,

Have you used "Set Sliding/Printing" already? I'm not sure about quickly setting two columns, but this may be an alternative solution:

- In Layout mode, select the field in question and all elements below it.

- Go to Format, Set Sliding/Printing.

- In the dialogue box that pops up, select "Slide up based on all above."

In layout mode you can make the field as large as you think you'll ever need it. Then, regardless of the size of the contents of that field, the bottom of your layout will slide up to fit (when printed or in Preview mode only).

Hope this helps...
