Can PlanetPrss Display multiple columns on 1 page ?
I Have a list of customers and to save paper I want to print them it with 2 colums instead of 1.
Example: Customers # 1 to 60 in column 1 customers 61 to 120 column 2 and so on 121 to 180 ...

Is this possible ?

I Am using a .dbf file as input.

DLanduyt,

There may be ways to do something like that. Perhaps using a combination of horizontal and vertical line repeat could work, or there's always the possibility of using presstalk. The method used will depend on the data that you're using, and exactly how you want it. It could range from fairly simple to very advanced(and maybe requires professional services if you want us to develop it for you).

Therefore, I suggest you open a technical support issue, and send us your form and dbf file, so that we can look at it, and determine the best approach to build the form that you want. Go to our web page, then to Services->Support->Report an Issue, and upload your files, enter a complete description, and we will take a look at it.

Regards,
Rapha

Thanks
PPTalk sounds good - I would need to move through the data file though with a Skip Or Next command though and I cannot see how to do that.

If this should me moved to tech support just let me know ?

Yes, this should be moved to technical support, we need to see your form and dbf file at this point. Read the above post on how to open a technical issue.
