We've been using it for at least part of our work since CF 5 and building on it each year. This report has certainly been modified frequently under 8, not sure if it takes advantage of everything in 8.
"I made the boxes thinner and tweaked some things for certain buildings. This leaves more white space on each page, but at least none are blank that I saw." So problem solved for now. Hopefully we'll be able to do something better under 11. Or just wait till we get a package system, that is coming some time, very preliminary stages of looking. It's down to 475 pages now, was 599. So there were 124 blank pages that were eliminated. On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 3:30 PM, Shawn Oden <[email protected]> wrote: > Good luck.
