Modifying general report properties
224 InfoMaker
1 Create a tabular report, selecting the last name, first name, and phone
number columns, and add a title, page number, and date.
The
Emp_Fname column and the text control holding a comma are defined
as Slide Left, so they display just to the right of the
Emp_Lname column.
2 On the Print Specifications page of the report’s Properties view, specify
two columns across and a column width of 3.5 inches in the Newspaper
Columns boxes. (Make sure that Units is set to inches on the General
property page.)
3 To view the report as it will be printed, place the pointer in the Preview
view and select File>Print Preview.
The report displays the result set in two columns. Everything above the
column headers (which includes page number, title, and date) also shows
twice because of the 2-column specification. This information should
appear only once per page.
4 To specify that page number, title, and date appear only once on the page,
you need to suppress printing after the first column. For each of these
controls, select Properties from the control’s pop-up menu. Then set the
HideSnaked property.
