= SUMMARY =

When printing a report from a Microsoft Works for MS-DOS version 1.x or 2.0 Database, extra blank pages may print at the end of the report.

This problem occurs most frequently if the number of fields in your report is too great to fit on a single page. In this case, Works prints as many columns of data as possible on the first set of pages, and prints the remaining columns immediately below.

= MORE INFORMATION =

For example, if you have inadvertently placed an entry in column Z when your report definition is only designed to contain field entries in columns A-G, Works prints all the fields that extend beyond the farthest right printable field (according to your margin settings) at the end of the report. If these extra columns are all blank, it appears that you are receiving a number of extra blank pages. In fact, Works is printing blank fields.

To correct the problem, use the following procedure in the Report view:


 * 1) Select the first empty column.
 * 2) Press F8 to extend the selection.
 * 3) Press END to select all columns through the last column in the report.
 * 4) From the Edit menu, choose Delete (ALT, E, D).
 * 5) Press ALT+C to delete the columns.
