Previewing and printing information 6-11
Printing layouts with subsummaries
Before printing a layout with subsummary parts, sort the records by the
break field (the field that groups the records). See “Adding a summary
part” on page 3-31 and “Sorting records” on page 4-30.
Keep these points in mind:
1 Switch to Preview mode after you sort to see how your records will
print. See “Previewing before printing” below.
1 You can start a new page for each subsummary part. If you print
records in columns down the page, FileMaker Pro starts a new
column, not a new page. See “Arranging records in columns” on page
3-20.
Printing labels and envelopes
To print labels, set up a Labels layout (see “Setting up to print on labels”
on page 3-12). For information about printing envelopes, see “Setting up
to print on envelopes” on page 3-18.
Previewing before printing
In Preview mode, you see how records will look when they’re printed,
but you can’t change records or layouts. To switch to Preview mode,
choose Preview from the Mode menu.
