Special Forms - Widow/Orphan Size

This is covered in Version 8 - via Layout Properties, see HERE for details.


Please advise Support@FormTrap.com if you have any issues in conversion to Version 8.

The Widow/Orphan size element of a label can be used to check for enough room to print the trailer information on the last page. For instance, if we want the detail box to extend to the bottom of every page, except the last page where the trailer information will print at the bottom of the page.

To do this we need to have a test label. The test label is the last label called and is used to check for sufficient room at the bottom of the page for the trailer information to print. If there is not enough room, FormTrap breaks to a new page and will print any remaining information on the next page.

To do this we:

  1. Select Add Label from the Define menu.
  2. Give the Label a Name, Layer ID and Height.
  3. Set the Widow/Orphan size to the size that the Totals information occupies.
  4. Click on the OK button.
