Newbies Harald.Loeffler Posted August 25, 2000 Newbies Share Posted August 25, 2000 As mentioned earlier, I'm experiencing problems with printing of layouts, that look totally O.K. on the screen, but are printed in a wrong way. the font on the printed version seems to be smaller, than on the screen, because mor words fit onto one line. the result is, that the text occupies lace vertical space on the page, and therefore the elements, that follow this text are not moved up high enough, thus there is to much blank space between the text and the rest of the page. On screen everything looks fine. I've heard of printing problems with filemaker on PCs and HP Printers. Could this be the reason of my problems? Is there a work around? Thanx in advance...

danjacoby Posted August 26, 2000 Share Posted August 26, 2000 One of the problems is that Windows is not WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get"). This means that the screen version won't necessarily look like the printed version. I've had this problem with all my Windows customers. I highly recommend altering the layout to fit the printed version. If this doesn't look good, create two layouts -- one for people to browse, and a "print layout" -- then create a "Print" button which goes to the print layout, prints, then returns to the "browse layout".
