Printing in FileMaker Pro

To print any layout you can:

* Click a Print button if available

* Use a print script if available. (On the menubar, click Scripts and look for Print Portrait, Print Landscape, or Print Envelope.)

* Use the menu bar to print.

- If necessary, use Print Setup to change the paper size (letter size, legal size, envelope)
- Also use Print Setup to change the orientation (portrait or landscape)
- Click Print when you are ready to print.
- Choose Current Record to print just the current record or
Records Being Browsed to print all the records in the currently found set.
You may also choose Blank Record to print out a blank record that you can use as a paper form.

*** If you need to specify a different printer on your network or specify color vs. grayscale printing you can use Print Setup to change these options.

*** In most cases, the buttons are designed NOT to print. In most of the lists, the longer (taller) fields are designed to shrink if the extra space is not needed. However, unfortunately, the fields cannot grow bigger if there is too much text. (If just one or just a few records are too big for the space provided, you can reduce the font size for that one record.)

*** If you change print settings, try to remember to change the settings back to normal later. This is especially true if you are printing envelopes or if you frequently switch between landscape and portrait orientation.

Subtotals in Reports

Subtotals are available in the Qualifying Wages report, Work and Learning Performance Report (Detailed), and a few other reports. These subtotals are visible only in Preview mode or on paper. The subtotals are only available if the report has been sorted by the appropriate field.
