[RBG7-L] - Re: Report field alignment question

[David M. Blocker]

John   In addition to Razzak's idea, have you considered skipping the pre-printed form altogether and using R:Base to produce the ENTIRE form?   David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: John Engwer To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 10:14 AM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Report field alignment question I have a report that I have developed for a client that prints two mailers per 8.5 X 11 page.  The report inserts the address and one line of data in the detail band.  There is also a break footer that contains a zip code count every time the zip code changes.  The alignment of the fields are critical because the printed data is interleaved with the preprinted data on the mailer.  After the address and special data are printed the page it is cut in half to form the actual mailer.  Does anyone have a good technique for aligning data on a preprinted form?  When I print using the settings defined below the mailer on the top of the page is aligned but the mailer on the bottom of the page prints high.  I tried to get a perfect alignment by adjusting the space between rows setting but that is a trial and error method and I haven�t been able to find a setting that works (close but not exact).   Here are my settings�..   Paper size 8.5 X 11 Top margin = .2 Bottom margin = 0 Static height   Break header settings everything is set to zero   Detail settings: Height = 4.55 (11 page height, minus .2 margin, minus 1.7 BF height, divided by 2) Bottom Offset = 0 Bottom Position = 0 Print count = 0 Bands per record = 1   Break footer settings: Height = .85 Bottom offset = 0 Print position = 0
