Welcome back, glad you are still with us!
However, the algorithm doesn't care if it's slicing a field in half ; it just divides up the card into slices the size of what fits between the header and footer.
This is surprising. For some reason I thought the Reports feature could do at least some basic pagination of big cards, since it offers 1-up or N-up options.
In case you're feeling adventurous and want to learn more about the report generator inner workings, have a look at the 'revPrintBack' backscript.
Yes I was reading the backscript and it appeared to me that it should have been able to paginate a tall card. I guess I misread the transcript.
You'll see in that backScript that you can trap the 'revChangePage' message in your source stack and update the data in a field dynamically with say, the content of a field in a database ?
Ah! that's interesting, I'll look into it.
