Previewing and printing information 6-9
Keeping objects from printing
To keep objects, like buttons, from appearing when you print records:
1. In Layout mode, select the objects you don’t want to print.
2. Choose Sliding/Printing from the Format menu.
3. In the Set Sliding/Printing dialog box, select Do not print the selected
objects, and then click OK.
Keep these points in mind:
1 You can slide nonprinting objects to close up blank space. See
“Sliding objects and parts” on page 6-7.
1 You see nonprinting objects in Browse and Layout modes, but not
when you preview or print. Choose Non-Printing Objects from the
Show menu to display nonprinting objects with a gray border in
Layout mode.
Printing Extended columnar layouts
For Extended columnar layouts, select the horizontal (landscape) print
setting so that more columns can print. See “Printing” on page 6-11.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the Help menu, and then type:
