	Subject: HTML output help
	
	
	I have just started re-creating our company's outputs to be html
(via filepro).  Instead of designing a new report format for each output I
have created a general holding detail file that uses 80 character flds which
are uniquely filled by processing in the respective "feeder" files. No
problem with this.
	 
	However an item that I need some help on is how to produce the web
output so pages come out correctly and have the header print properly. My
question is how are others determining end of page (ie. 60 lines) for
printing?  Are you using line count?  Does anyone have a sample processing
snipet they can post?
	 
	Thank you in advance for any guidence,

Rick,

This has been a problem, as far as I know, when printing web pages.  They
don't seem to want to page properly.

You might consider Printwizard which can produce a PDF file of you report
and create a link to that.  Your report should print properly and be
displayed properly.

I am doing this for one of my client's. In addition, they generate specific
PDF reports which are e-mailed to the person.  Our next step is to FAX these
reports to the specific person's office as their e-mail address is not
always at their office.

Printwizard has allowed me to use the proportional fonts and scale them.
This makes for a very non-filepro looking report.

The other advantage is I am outputting PCL code and Printwizard is
converting to its markup language.  This saved me a lot of coding.  I just
needed to adjust my output format.
