Anyway to just insert a PageBreak into the white space on a InfoPath form? I can insert after the white space into the grey area, but not the whitespace where my form resides. The bottom for PageBreak is greyed out

Hi,

... and welcome to our forum.

If you might wish to provide a way for users who are filling out forms to be able to insert/remove Page Breaks in certain locations of the form. You can accomplish this using Page Breaks with Conditional Formatting.

In Design mode, insert a Checkbox Control, type "Insert Page Break" next to the checkbox.

Insert a Section Control

Within the Section Control, insert a Page Break (Place the cursor inside of the Section Control you just inserted and from the menu Insert | Page Break)

Double click on the Section Control to open the Section Properties dialog. Select the Display tab and click on the Conditional Formatting button.

Click Add... to set a new condition, which will keep the Page Break "hidden" unless the checkbox is checked, to do this: Select the name of the checkbox in the first condition drop-down and set the condition "is equal to FALSE". Check the "Hide this Control" checkbox and close all open dialogs by clicking "Ok"

That´s it. So ... you can allow users to insert a page break when a checkbox is checked.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Howdy,

I have a form that works pretty good. Does everything I need to do; but I need to be able to print hard copies of the empty form. So no big deal I thought I'll just add a few page breaks and see where that takes me. But the problem I'm having is that I cannot insert PageBreaks into my form and I cant find a good way to gauge where they are. I sorta want it to display where a page break will happen when I print so I can space the form out better. Is this an option with InfoPath is there a way to do this?

(Think of Word, it shows you when it goes to the next page, I want InfoPath to do that)

Thanks,
