Notes
•When you print a field or a
portal with a scroll bar, FileMaker Pro prints only the data visible without scrolling. To print all the data, duplicate the layout and enlarge the field or portal to display the largest possible amount of data. Then specify sliding options to remove the extra blank space when you print. See
Working with fields on a layout and
Removing blank spaces in printouts.
•Placeholder text will only print when you chose to print a blank record showing the placeholder text; it does not print in records being browsed or in the current record.
•In Preview mode, you see:
•how many
records fit on a printed page
•variable information supplied by FileMaker Pro, like page numbers or the current date
