Specifying the pages on which items are printed

You can specify that items within a border, for example, shapes, lines, text boxes and pictures, only print on certain pages of a printout if required. By default, items that you place within a border print on all pages of a printout.

You may find this feature useful if you want to create a border that displays different items on certain pages. For example, you can create borders that:

  • Display items on the first page only - useful for an introduction.
  • Display items on the last page only - useful for a conclusion.
  • Display items on all pages but the first and last pages.
  • Display different information on odd and even pages - useful if you want to print the border in duplex and want information to be mirrored on odd and even pages.

To specify the pages on which an item is printed:

  1. Select the item that you want to print on specific pages.
  2. Select the Details command from the Edit menu, or click Edit Object Details. You see the Details dialog.
  3. Select the Print on the following only radio button, then select the page or pages on which you want the selected item to print.
  4. Click OK to confirm your changes and close the Details dialog.
