Help !!!

Is there any documentation for the Page Tab function in Paint?

How do I add a Page Tab?

How do I remove a Page Tab?

What are the rules?

What are the tricks?

Which version of AREV are you using? What printed documentation do you have (or lack)?

For 2.1 and earlier: 1 Position prompts on screen as you want them. 2 Position the cursor on the topmost prompt on a page. 3 If the editor is off, press F4 to turn the Editor on. 4 Press Alt-H. 5 Position prompts where they should appear on the rest of the pages and repeat the page tab setting process. ASCII character 232 appears / disappears at the top left corner of the window indicating a page has been defined / undefined.

For 3.12, follow steps 1-3. Then 4 Press F2 (Prompt options) and select Define page or Undefine page. Repeat step 5. Nothing appears at the window corner to tell you anything has changed.

In either case, make sure the page is displayed as you want it before you define the prompts. And make sure you take the page definition into account when you make any adjustments in prompt placement or order.

Don't page-define symbolics or the first data prompt in an AMV.

Hope this helps.

Add to this:

Prompt must be 'landable': Don't page tab auto-fill protected prompts.

In general: Page mark the first and last landable prompts on the page. This way when going back on prompts or page-up the page will center correctly.

But you CAN put page tabs on VP prompts. I sometimes do this on a throw-away field at the top of AMV's to get people there.

VP prompts are what I consider 'landable' (ie you can put the cursor there and it stays there).
