  21. The data is collected and formatted into columns as above. I know I
  22. could set up a card template but my data could spill over to many pages
  23. that I would need to print. 
  24.  
  25. If I use variable/scroll fields, how do I print the gridlines(cols & rows)
  26. of the table?
  27.  
  28. Would appreciate any enlightened suggestions....
