Printing multi-page text fields

Feb 3, 2006 10:50 AM

I have a multi-line text field that is set to expand as needed to display whatever text is entered into it. In some cases, the amount of text causes the field to wrap across pages. On screen this works just fine. Printing, however, fails. The amount of space designated for the text field is accurate, but the contents start anew on each page, rather than continuing where the previous page left off. For example, this is what I want:

[page 1]
We the People of the United States, in Order...
blah
blah
[/page 1]
[page 2]
The Senate of the United States shall be composed...
blah
blah
[/page 2]
[page 3]
The House of Representatives shall be composed...
blah
blah
[/page 3]

And so on. Instead, what I get is:

[page 1]
We the People of the United States, in Order...
blah
blah
[/page 1]
[page 2]
We the People of the United States, in Order...
blah
blah
[/page 2]
[page 3]
We the People of the United States, in Order...
blah
blah
[/page 3]

How can I achieve what I want so that long text fields can be printed accurately?

    You know what drives me batty? Searching and searching for an answer, asking for help, and then uncovering a solution. Search didn't help; I eventually just started sorting through the forum threads one by one.
