sal88 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hi all I have reproduced a letterhead which consists of the company's logo and address going down the right hand side of the page (there is content from the top to the bottom). I have done this with a combination of text and images, and container fields (containing a blank image for when the header is not required). I also made the entire layout A4 (including length) in Layout view. The other thing I had to do is expand the main line item description field (in the Body part) to 457px, with sliding up enabled. The problem is that sliding doesn't seem to work if the layout is longer than around 739 pixels, and my layout is around 810. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal88 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Issue resolved by just shortening the length of the layout (had to fiddle with the object to get them to stretch along the whole length of the page though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal88 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Or another way is to create a title footer which duplicates (or not) the normal footer. This doesn't affect the 739 pixels limit I was on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal88 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Actually I think the whole issue was caused by the fact that the objects above/below the body did not have sliding up enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fiddling with", is an important FileMaker tool or skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Actually I think the whole issue was caused by the fact that the objects above/below the body did not have sliding up enabled I am afraid this is a mis-assumption. Items outside of a part do not need to have sliding on for a specific part to slide - only objects within the part with the fields which need to reduce. I tell you because I don't want you to go through the rest of your FM career always making everything slide when it is a waste of effort. I'm glad you worked it out. Indeed, Lee, fiddling is a part of FM, particularly reporting which FM should really spend more time improving (crosstabs, side-panels etc).
