I did something similar a few years and just created the source documents in Word with embedded tokens to be replaced dynamically by information from the database. The documents were then saved in .rtf format. Thus page soft breaks were handled by Word and, as I recall, Word would automatically adjust the page length if the inserted information made the page longer or shorter. Hard page breaks were inserted as necessary for the end of sections, etc.
A technique that I found useful was to edit the documents in Notepad to reveals the embedded codes. For example, the following code shows the document before and after a new page. A is on page 1 and B is on page 2. There is no hard page break. \par A \par B \par This code shows a inserted hard page break \par A \par \page \par B I hope this helps, please feel free to contract me offline if you have any other questions that you think I might be of help with.

I am in the process of creating RTF documents in Universe and am stuck on how to create a multiple page document. Currently I have a RTF template which was created in Word with tokens which I replace in databasic with the appropriate data. Also, the rtf document contains headers and footers (and the data in the header changes from one page to the next page) can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this or if its possible? h ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
