    Hi Brendan
    If I am trying to print a landscape A4 page, what is the total figure my field widths should add up to, to make sure everything prints? Also, same for portrait? I can’t see what the width figures relate to, or find out about them.
    Cheers……

    The width values should really be thought of as relative widths, not absolute widths. Tap Forms 5 tries to shrink the column widths in order to be able to fit all the selected columns on the page. The older version would just leave off the fields that wouldn’t fit.

    So if I wanted to print out 5 equal width fields I could simply select the 5 fields and give each one a width of 1?

    No, not 1. That would make the columns pretty much invisible.

    Just play around with it and see what works for you. It’s ok to experiment. No harm will come of it and you’ll learn what widths work and what widths don’t work.
