I am in the process of building a letter within InfoAssist and need some help with output format.

I have been able to get the firt page to format the way I want it and I've set page breaks on each 'By' field.

The problem is that each page after page 1 is not formatted with the fields where I want them. They are all being printed at the top of the page on each successive page.

Hoping that this is an easy fix! Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Kadkins,

From our technicals: There are a few new feature requests open to make the active PDF in InfoAssist what you see is what you get, so you may want to open a case with Customer Support Services for follow-up. Please call at 1-800-736-6130, or access online at InfoResponse.

Cheers,

Kerry

Thanks. A WYSIWYG editor would be nice. In the meantime, I ended up ditching InfoAssist and using DS ReportPainter - Precision reports to get my problem solved.

I think this was a simple flag/switch/setting but I just couldn't get it to work.

Thanks again
