To print a second page or not

[salberg]

I have a text entry near the bottom of the page. At times the entry can be lengthy but normally it is only a few lines long that easily fits on the page. To consider the exception of a lengthy entry, I must expand the text entry to the second page. When the record is printed, is there a way to print the second page only when needed? Right now, the printer will always print the second page. Sliding up doesn't seem to help.

Did you remember to check the "reduce size of enclosing part" option?

I tried to find "reduce size of enclosing part". What is it and where is it on the menu? I forgot to mention that I am using v5.03 for Windows.

At the bottom of the sliding printing option is a checkbox, also reduce size of enclosing part.

select the item(s) you wish to slide and check this option.

Thanks. That was the answer. I'm not yet used to the terminology of Filemaker. The last database I used was Alpha4 v5. Again, thanks for the help - I am sure I will be needing it again.
