InfoPath Dev

I have 2 questions related to page breaks, things that can be done in Word and I wonder if a similar effect can be achived in InfoPath:

1. Is there a way to prevent a section or table from breaking on a page break when printing a form, similar to the paragraph property "keep lines together" in Word. I.e. I would like the section or table to be printed on the next page with white space on the end of the current page. Note this should happen IF NECESSARY (i.e. to avoid a split), so inserting a page break before would not achieve the same effect.

2. Can I have a 2 column mode, so a table would start on the left column and continue on (spill into) the right column?

Thanks,

Hello Shaul,
About your 1st question, you can try this tutorial.

About your 2nd question, I could not understand what you were trying to say. Can you please give more details about that.

Hope this helps!

For the second question, yes this is possible, but you will probably have to use a tricky filter on two expression boxes.

Try these out on two expression boxes in a two-column table. The hard part is getting it to break on the end of a word instead of wherever the middle of the character string is, but I'll let you figure that out :)

Left column:
substring(my:field1, 0, string-length(my:field1) div 2)

Right column:
substring(my:field1, string-length(my:field1) div 2, string-length(my:field1))
