Previewing and printing information 6-5
1 If you select the Print in
<value>
columns option for a layout and
change the size of the columns, the columns resize to fit the new page
width when you change the left or right margins. See “Arranging
records in columns” on page 3-20.
Removing spaces at the end of fields and parts
FileMaker Pro can move information vertically or horizontally to close
gaps at the end of fields and parts when you print. This movement is
called sliding. For example, you can create a letter layout so the comma
in the greeting prints right after the last name, even though some names
are longer than others.
When objects slide:
1 fields shrink to eliminate empty space within the field boundaries.
Sliding does not remove empty space between fields.
1 objects (including fields) slide left or up corresponding to the amount
of space the fields to the left or above the objects shrink.
