66 | Using databases
Keep these points in mind:
1 To choose options for how you want labels printed on the page, choose
Layouts menu
> Layout Setup, and click the Printing tab. Then choose the
number of columns (labels) across and the direction in which you want the
labels printed, and set custom page margins, if needed.
1 You may need to adjust your printer settings to print the labels correctly.
Choose File menu
> Print Setup (Windows) or Page Setup (Mac OS).
1 Some labels might not have the same number of printed lines as others.
This happens because if there is no data in a field, FileMaker
Pro closes up
the blank space.
For more information about creating a layout for labels or envelopes, choosing
printing and layout setup options, and additional considerations when you
create a Labels or Envelope layout, see FileMaker Pro Help.
Printing scripts
You can print a list of all script steps for one or more scripts in a file.
1. Choose Scripts menu > Manage Scripts, or choose File menu > Manage >
Scripts.
2. In the Manage Scripts dialog box, select the script or scripts you want to
print.
To select more than one contiguous script in the list, Shift-click the scripts.
To select more than one non-contiguous script, Ctrl+click (Windows) or
2-
click (Mac OS) the scripts.
3. Click at the bottom of the dialog box.
4. Click OK (Windows) or Print (Mac OS).
The selected script steps and options are printed.
