Printing layouts with subsummaries
?
Previewing and printing information 6-11
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.
