couple of questions

1) I am working on printing a report, and have gotten as far as copying
a my report group to another stack, resizing the group and the stack to
fit the contents, setting the formatForPrinting property. Ready to
print. Printing with "print stack" works OK. Now I need to do
pagination, ideally also do page numbering, and ideally do sizing of
the print job to the user's printer/paper size. Does anyone have sample
code they could share, or have posted in the past to this list, which
shows how to do this non-trivial kind of printing. Especially the paper
size and pagination?
2) I'm learning about colors and property inheritance. I just set my
stack's backColor to white and now all my buttons (lots of them) are
white too. I want grey buttons. Do I have to set the backColor of each
button to grey? I can script it in the message box, but there must be
an easier way. At first I was thinking this would be a good use for
Profiles, now I'm not so sure. A lot of the buttons don't belong to a
group that would be useful for setting the backColor in.
