Printing

[Sarah]

revPrintField will do what you want. It allows you to print a formatted 
field and optional parameters allow setting headers & footers. Use 
revShowPrintDialog first to allow the user to specify page setup and 
set the printMargins to control them. revPrintText is also useful but I 
think revPrintField will do exactly what you want.

I often find it useful to assemble what I want to print into a hidden 
field, format it as required, then use revPrintField.

Cheers,
Sarah
