FileMaker Pro 4.1 Mac User's Guide

Chapter 6: Previewing and printing information
Preparing to print
This chapter describes how to print the information in your
FileMaker Pro files, including records, forms, and definitions of fields
and scripts.
Note The information in this chapter does not apply to users working
with databases on the Web. When users work with databases on the
Web, the Web browser software governs printing.
Important Before you read this chapter, be sure you know how to use
FileMaker Pro Help, as explained in the preface, “Getting help.” You
should also understand layouts and parts. (See chapter 3, “Laying out
and arranging information.”)
With FileMaker Pro, you can print:
1 records you’re browsing (the found set) or a record you select in
Browse mode, including data from related files.
FileMaker Pro formats the records using the current layout. For
example, use a Labels layout to print mailing labels.
If a layout contains a header, footer, and body, FileMaker Pro prints
as many records on each page as can fit between the header and
footer. If a record at the end of the page doesn’t fit, FileMaker Pro
prints it on the next page. (See “Paginating a layout” on page 3-32 and
“Changing part types and options” on page 3-36.)
1 blank records to create a form using the current layout.
1 definitions of fields or scripts to see the structure of your database.
