Laying out and arranging information 3-33
2. In the Part Definition dialog box, select an option.
3. Click OK, and then click Done.
Keep these points in mind:
1 If you set column options to print records down the page and specify
a page break for a subsummary part, FileMaker Pro starts a new
column, and not a new page, when you preview or print records. If
you print records in columns across the page, FileMaker Pro starts a
new page if the subsummary part includes a page break.
1 If the body or a summary part is too large to fit on a page between the
header and the footer, you see a dashed line on the layout to show
where the part will be divided. (This can change if you set sliding
options. See “Sliding objects and parts” on page 6-7.)
To Select With these layout parts
Start a new page before
printing the contents of the
part (for example, print a
trailing grand summary on a
new page)
Page break before each
occurrence
Subsummary when sorted by
Body
Trailing subsummary
Trailing grand summary
Start a new page after printing
the contents of the specified
occurrences of the part (for
example, print five records in
the body, and then start a new
page)
Page break after every
<value>
occurrences
Leading grand summary
Subsummary when sorted by
Body
Trailing grand summary
Start page numbering from
the beginning after printing
the part (for example, start
page numbering after the title
header if you want it to serve
as a cover page)
Restart page numbers after
each occurrence
Title header
Header
Leading grand summary
Subsummary when sorted by
Body
Footer
Print the entire contents of the
part even if it doesn’t fit on
one page (for example, divide
and print the body across two
pages when it doesn’t fit on a
single page with the other
parts)
Allow part to break across
page boundaries
Leading grand summary
Subsummary when sorted by
Body
Trailing grand summary
Print as much of the contents
of a part as fits on the page but
not finish printing it on the
next page (for example, print
the information in a Notes
field to the bottom of the page
and truncate the rest)
Discard remainder of part
before new page (available
only if you select Allow
part to break across page
boundaries)
Leading grand summary
Subsummary when sorted by
Body
Trailing grand summary
