Document style printing using Tables

I designed a formatted print Form for printing Notes documents. The print Form is formatted with tables. It prints well except on continuation pages the table headings don’t show. Does anybody know of a way to have the headings, or titles from a table populate to continuation pages? Please reply, and be specific with your instructions. I would really appreciate your help.

Bruce,

Repeat after me…Notes is not a word processor, Notes is not a word processor… :wink:

Unless something really spiffy has been added to R6, a cell is a cell is a cell - there’s no such thing as a header row in a Notes table so nothing to carry over. Heck, in Notes, there really isn’t even a ‘page’ - docs are just long piles-o-data.

The only hack that even comes to mind would be to constrain the size of all cell contents (number of characters), guestimate how many rows you can get on a page, and manually dup the ‘header’ stuff when you think the next page is due to show up. This would only work if you had a form design with ‘header row’, ‘x data rows’, ‘next header row’, ‘more data rows’, and each data row contained a unique set of fields.

I hope somebody has something else for you. If you do get something working, be sure to post it back here.

Table headers are new to Notes 7 (they’re in Beta 2), and even there they are included for accessibility (screen readers), not for printing. Notes is the Anti-Paper; not only is printing not its strong point, printing is missing the point (conceptually, at least).

WELL said Stan.
