Procedure documentationOrganizing Lists with Multiple Pages Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

If your list is too large to be displayed on one page, the width of the columns is automatically reduced to the size of the type area. The height of the list is not changed; the printout contains as many pages as are required for the complete list.

You can specify how you want to split the information from the list across the various pages.

  • Repeat column header

    If the width of the paper is sufficient, but the height of the paper is not, you can specify whether the column header is to appear on every page.

  • Fit to page

    If the list is only slightly larger than the paper, you can reduce the size so that it fits on one page.

  • Spread list across multiple pages

    If you want to spread the list over multiple pages, you specify whether the column header is to appear on every subsequent page. You also specify whether columns that are defined as fixed columns are to be repeated on subsequent adjacent pages.
