Graham,
This is what I do, also and I agree that using the formattedHeight of
characters seems more convoluted than one would like. Or perhaps I
don't understand things well enough. I've found that when I switch
to < formatForPrinting > the heights of things change enough to cause
problems with any exact calculation I might have done (last line may
be partially clipped) unless I leave some wiggle room in my
calculations. Using lines would be nice.

I have a print routine adapted from something Hugh Senior put in
The Scripter's Scrapbook (thanks Hugh). I may well have done
something stupid to it, but I am making heavy weather of making
sure that if I'm printing more than a single page of text, the last
line on any given page is not cut off so that only part of the line
shows.
The issue is that AFAIK, RunRev thinks only in terms of pixels and
not in terms of lines of type. In these circumstances the only way
I can think of to avoid the cutoff is to add up all the formatted
heights of the successive lines until I find I've overflowed my
page area, then backtrack one whole line and print that (I'm
thinking of a generalised routine which will handle lines in
different fonts and of different heights, so I can't simply look at
the height of the first line and work from there).
This works but it seem incredibly clunky. I assume that this
problem has been solved many times, and that maybe there is even a
way of telling RR that you want to print in whole lines but I've
somehow missed it.
I'd be grateful for any advice.
Graham
