   Alright, I feel like this is a simple problem, but I'm not sure why it is
   occurring.  When printing pages of records which are viewed as lists,
   each of which is about two lines long, FMP doesn't seem to be checking
   where the bottom of the page is, and consequently prints records which
   fall into the bottom page margin, and thus get chopped off.

   If it makes a difference, I'm using the NEC SilentWriter 95.

In fact, it makes no difference.  Unfortunately, this is a problem inherent
with the way that FileMaker prints.  It is the user's responsibility to keep
the layouts set in such a way that no fields can overlap the page break
boundary.  One suggestion would be to set a footer to a small amount and
tweak it until you get what you want.  I know, sounds, silly, but if you
don't like it and you're a registered customer, please do send in a
suggestion.  It's the only way that Technical Support and Customer Relations
have of creating leverage to fix problems that we see that haven't been
fixed yet.

If you want, send it in to my attention, from the address in your manual.
