I know it should be an issue, but it once was for me back in 4 or
something like that: Try setting the non printing buttons you have at
the top to slide up with reduce size of enclosing part checked as
well. It probably won't fix it for you, but it might be worth a try.

Try adding the header and footer and confining the cards to the

Good Luck!

Here's something I've never encountered before.
I've set up a database to print flash cards — you know, the kind
where it says something like "5 x 8 = __" on the front and "40" on
the back. I wanted to print 4 cards to a sheet, so I set all margins
to zero and created a rectangle (306 pixels wide by 396 high) to
completely fill the body part (which, curiously, is only 395 pixels
high, despite being able to accommodate a 396-pixel graphic object).
Columns set to 2, across 1st.
So I go to look at it in Preview mode, and everything's copacetic. I
don't expect to see the outer edges of the rectangle on the actual
output, of course, because they're outside the printer's print area,
but they show up just fine on screen in Preview mode.
And — here's the significant part — the 1st page of output looks to
have 4 cards ... in Preview mode.
Then I go to the actual printing process and the oddity occurs. The
very 1st page (none of the rest, only the 1st one) starts printing
what looks to be about 10-11 pixels down the sheet and only has Cards
1 and 2 on it, not Cards 1-4 as expected. This is definitely not the
way it looked in Preview mode. Cards 3 and 4, which I expected to be
at the bottom of Page 1, end up at the top of Page 2, and everything
else is shifted accordingly.
This isn't a deal-killer; I can certainly work with it. But it's odd,
and I don't like to have unknowns like this lying around loose.
No, I don't have either a header part or a title header part — only
the 1 body part, with 1 field and 1 graphic object on it. (I do have
a bunch of buttons across the top of the layout, but they're all set
to non-printing and so shouldn't have this effect on printing, should
they?)
Any clues?
