6-2 FileMaker Pro User’s Guide
The margins, current layout, and printer and print setup options affect
how FileMaker Pro prints records.
Displaying margins
In Layout mode, choose Page Margins from the Show menu to see where
a layout will print on a page.
Most printers can’t print to the edge of the paper. If you place objects in
the margins or outside the area the selected printer can print to, you see
them in Browse and Find modes. You don’t see the objects when you
preview or print.
