Sounds like the length of your letter just exceedes one page. If you see a heavy line near the bottom of your text in Layout mode, that's what's happening. You need to modify the layout to get rid of that line or make sure the body part doesn't extend over that line. Play around with this and get back if this doesn't take care of the problem. > Another concern, potentially much more serious, is the fact that in > working with ebase and trying to customize the bio sheet by entering in > several new affiliations through the EDIT VALUE LISTS function, I deleted > the HOBBIES heading field as well as the complementary field that would > hold the personalized information.

If the former, I know of no built-in routines that hinge on the Hobbies field. You could re-create the field pretty easily just by navigating to the "Profile" file and creating a new text field called "BIO: HOBBIES" (no quotes). Any data formerly in that field would, of course, have been lost. If the latter is the case, the field still exists and you can just re-place it on the layout using the Field tool in layout mode. Read the Filemaker manual about dealing with layouts.
