I have a basic requirement of printing a Lotus Notes form (it can be a long form depending upon the data filled in the field) and each page should contain a Footer. Footer is very large approx > 256 characters, but the Footer property of the form (6th tab of Form properties) doesn't allow more than 255 characters.
I have tried giving the footer in the "Window title" and using &W in the Footer tab of the Form properties, but the Window title is only taking 1st line of the sentence.
Can someone tell how to get this much big footer in every page and print also.
You'd better use a 3rd party tool to produce output. Some candidates: Notes2Paper, Swing, IntelliPrint

On html tab of the field and put there in style tag but that is not working.
Basically I am having comment field which wherein I would like to increase width of the field so user can see enter long text instead of typing and getting moved.
P.s I know richtext field which can have cols and rows property but I dont need rich text field. I just need simple text field.
Use colon and not an equals sign and add px. So do this instead:
width:48px;
I want to add a footer to a Lotus Notes document. The Lotus Notes form "Printing" tab allows me to add a footer. However I would like to calculate the footer based on the value of a field on the form rather than just adding text. Is there a way of doing this?
Unfortunately, you can't show field content in print footer.
The only thing possible is inserting document's window title with &W.
Form's Window Title formula can be calculated with field contents.
We have a problem with automatically created Excel documents. I'm not sure if it is related to how we create the document or else is a viewer problem. But in any case, it's confusing.
When opening the Excel document, the content of some text fields is abbreviated by just displaying some short postfix of the content. On double click, the full content is visible. What is confusing is that the full content would well fit into the fields as it is displayed.
How to prevent such abbreviated fields?
I've attached two screen shots showing the problem.
first column of line 13 is abbreviated:
after double click, the first column of line 13 is displayed correctly:
For a sample document, follow this link. The document shows correctly in my firefox browser but faulty when seen with Excel on Windows 10.
I am building a layout to print (PDFs) of letters. I understood that text fields can shrink automatically to avoid white spaces.
My layout body is about 10 pages high as this would be the longest possible letter. Problem is: I cannot figure out how to tell the body to shrink to one page if I have a one page letter only.
Thus, I end up having 9 empty pages (only page numbers) and one "real" page.
How can I avoid all the empty pages?
If you have one enormous text field that you want to reduce in size based on the contents and have the enclosing part also reduce in size, look closely at the Position tab of the Inspector panel.
Under the "Sliding and Visibility" section, you'll find a checkbox for "Sliding up based on" with an additional pair of radio buttons and one checkbox when that's turned on. The checkbox reads "Also resize enclosing part". That's what you need to make sure is on to reduce the size of the body part the text field appears in.
This question is a follow up to my original question, I've done a bit more reseach, i narrowed a problem down quite a bit.
I've also uploaded a sample .rdl to illustrate the problem
I've got the following report setup: a header (image in the body), two textboxes, and a footer.
First textbox has a little bit of text, and second textbox has lots of text. Second textbox can fit on one page by itself, but won't fit on the page with my header and the first textbox.
The problem is that for some reason, the second textbox in the report is unaware of other contents of that same report, and as long as that one textbox fits on one page - it will be moved to the second page. (once the textbox grows larger than 1 page - it will split, and will achieve the desired behavior)
Desired behavior is to split the second textbox, and keep as much text on the first page as possible, and move the rest to the second page.
I'm not sure about v.2005 but in v.2008 you can set a textbox property: KeepTogether to false.
This will fit as much text on the first page than the rest on the second page.
This is pretty standard behaviour in SSRS. Like many issues with the Reporting engine, you have to trick it.
In this case you could try to provide the 'lines' for the second text box as individual rows in a Detail, then use a repeater or table to display them. Alternatively you could break on 'paragraph'. Unfortunately you'll have to do this in your data source, probably in a stored procedure, depending on how you're getting the data to the report.
If appropriate you could look at client-side reporting (.rdlc files), which allows you to pre-process the data in a .NET application, although setting up for printing can be more complex.
