1 In the sample (leftmost) column in the layout, make adjustments to
keep the fields within the column, and arrange the information that
prints for each record.
1 When you print records in columns down the page, FileMaker Pro
prints subsummary parts the width of the column. If the subsummary
part controls a page break, FileMaker Pro starts a new column (not a
new page). When you print records in columns across the page,
FileMaker Pro prints subsummary parts across the width of the page,
and then starts a new page if the part controls a page break. (See “About
summary layout parts” on page 3-29.)
