I remember fighting this one. In reality 4D write pro does a pretty good job of working around this depending on how to create the document. You can set a few flags on your text to stop Write pro from doing this.

To get your page count you can use WP Get Page Count if you want a total page count. I use this to generate the page x of y in my Write Pro documents in the footer. This appends a page X of Y to the footer of my document object. Then I let Write Pro Pagination handle the count. // Create my page number text $pageNumber:="- of -" ST INSERT EXPRESSION($pageNumber;"String($wp_pageCount)";7;7) ST INSERT EXPRESSION($pageNumber;"String($wp_pageNumber)";3;3) // $pageNumber:=Char(Line feed)+$pageNumber $pageNumberWP:=WP New ST SET TEXT($pageNumberWP;$pageNumber) WP SET ATTRIBUTES($pageNumberWP;wk text align;wk center) WP SET ATTRIBUTES($pageNumberWP;wk font;"Times") WP SET ATTRIBUTES($pageNumberWP;wk font size;9) $pageNumberRange:=WP Text range(protocolFooter;wk end text;wk end text) WP INSERT DOCUMENT($pageNumberRange;$pageNumberWP;wk append) > On Sep 3, 2019, at 5:07 PM, Charles Miller via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi All, > > we use 4D write extensively and have many issue trying to convert. > > For example, we need to know the total number of pages to be printed > so that we can have page 1 of x etc on each page > > We change the style based upon the data > > We need to see what fits on a page and if not enough insert page break > so that there is never Header with no detail at bottom of page > > We sometimes need to insert text and particular styles in the the > middle of the document.
