Folks -
I have a form with an embedded single-category view directly beneath a rich text “body” field. The view is set to display using HTML. When I make a document with this form, it displays correctly, but when I print it, Notes inserts an unwanted page break after the body field and before the embedded view. The view contains enough documents that it fills up an entire page on its own.
I’ve searched the forum for problems like this, but haven’t found any discussion on the issue. Does anyone know if it’s possible to get the embedded view to break in the middle, vice breaking before it starts?

I created a simple test and could not reproduce your error.
Added an embedded view beneath a richtext field, as you described, printed and everything appears on one page.
What is the height/width of the embedded view? Could it be causing the problem?
Subject: RE: Unwanted page break before embedded view
The view width is set to “fit to window”. It’s not particularly wide (less than 8", certainly) so I doubt the width is the issue.
The height is much more likely to be the problem - there are something like 80 documents in the view. The height for the embedded view is also set to “fit to window”.
What I want to happen is for the embedded view to break in the middle of the view, displaying as many rows as will fit on the first page, then filling up subsequent pages with the rest of the view entries. Is this possible?

Uncheck the Fit to Window and try various HEiGHTS until you get what you want. Try using a 6 or 8 snd see what happens.

Hmmm. No joy. No matter what setting I pick, the page break appears after the body field. Note that the document displays correctly, it just doesn’t PRINT correctly.
Also, I tried using a smaller view, one with only two documents in it, and the same thing happened… when I looked at the document, both lines in the view appeared on the same page as everything else… but when I printed it, a page break was inserted after the body field.

Could something up above the rtf field be causing the page break? What if you stripped everything off the page except for the rtf field and embedded view, does it still split to print?
Subject: RE: Okay, how about this…
No joy here either. I did as you suggested, and stripped off everything but the rich text field and the embedded view. When I printed, the entire embedded view still broke to the second page.
Thanks for all your help so far!
