Re: Why all the Print Prompts?

Forms was not designed for printing so it basically tries a screen print but not well...You could try a third party print screen program ( like the one from American Systems whose name I can't remember ) - these can usually be configured more flexibly and only require hitting the Prnt-Scrn on Alt-PrntScrn to use..
