    Default FM prints blank pages why?

    I made a test layout with 1 merge field (1 word in length) in the body which
    I placed at the top of the first page. I made the body 3 pages long. FM
    prints the first page with my merge field and then prints the other 2 pages
    which are blank. I have checked using Select All there is nothing on them.

    How do I stop blank pages printing?


    Thanks Brad

    Hi Brad

    Layout mode, select the body part, go to the Menu, Format, last item in the
    list Sliding/Printing you want to check the box to slide up and also the box
    to shrink the enclosing part.

    Hi Lee

    If I select body and then format the sliding /printing option is greyed out.

    Cheers Brad

    Sorry, I left out the word Field. It should have read

    Layout mode, select the "Field" in body part, go to the Menu, Format, last
    item in the list Sliding/Printing you want to check the box to slide up and
    also check the box X Also reduce the size of the Enclosing Part
