printer page break

[Mary Hartman]

I have had to create a printer friendly page using MSFP 2003.

The page has tables on it.

Is there a way to set a page break so that when it is printed the
second table will all go on the second page instead of being split
half on the first and half on the second?

Not reliably, no. But you can try the CSS2 styles for page breaks using a
print stylesheet -

(page-break-before and page-break-after would likely be the ones to try)

You could try using CSS to create the Page Break. See

Not reliable, though.

No but it's close. I haven't found a good third party control that works.
At work we use ScriptX (www.meadco.com) for some printing control but it
doesn't handle page breaks well. We end up using ASP and some JavaScript to
break at a certain point, re-do the headers and print the next page but
that's not an easy solution either.

I ended up using this command and it seems to be working perfectly.

<DIV style="page-break-after:always">


</div>
