Four.  Now I am getting crashes too. I don't know if that's because I'm 
on Virtual PC. I don't have time to track it down.

I seem to have better luck, at least with screen display, when the 
formatForPrinting is false. That makes sense, and is recorded in the 
docs. So I set it to false to gather and calculate how much text goes in 
each field. It looks fine on screen. But when I set the 
formatForPrinting to true just before printing the page, the text 
spreads out with one word per line and three or four empty lines between 
each word. When I go ahead and print it, I lose the text completely. My 
7 page printout has been generating hundreds of empty pages with no text 
at all.

If I leave the formatForPrinting set to false before sending to the 
printer, I get the same results. Or at least, I have been, the last hour 
or so.

This is really a pretty simple thing I'm asking Rev to do: print a page 
with 2 fields of text, repeatedly, until the data is gone. It works fine 
on Mac. I cannot get anything to print on XP. I have tried both setting 
the field fonts, and leaving the entire font hierarchy empty; neither helps.
