Graham, I'm not sure of your exact problem, but can you use the  
pageHeights property? I've used this before to print multi-paged  
fields. But it's been a while now (more than a few days :-)), so I  
forget the exact details of what I did.

Apologies if you've already looked at that.

Cheers
Dave
