FileMaker: Printing Grade Reports

These instructions describe how to print grade reports from FileMaker.

To begin, open your grade report file and go to the report form that you want to print (e.g., End Term 2).

Pull down the File menu and highlight Page Setup.

Make sure that:

• Format for: displays LibBW. Use this printer name even if you are not actually printing to this printer. The grade report margins are controlled by this setting, and the reports have the correct margins only if pages are setup for the LibBW.
• Paper Size: displays US Letter. Be sure that Paper Size: does not display US Letter (Small) or any other option.

When all settings are correct, click OK.

Then do one of the following:

• If your grade report contains a button entitled Print, click that button.
• Otherwise, pull down the File menu and highlight Print.

In the next window:

• Select your printer.
• Make sure that Pages is set to All. (The Pages setting does not determine which reports print. Instead, for each report that you print, Pages determines which pages for that one report will print.)
• Then pull down the Copies & Pages menu and select FileMaker Pro.

In the next window, click either...

• Records being browsed: if you want to print all students' reports
• Current record: if you want to print only the one grade report you are currently viewing

Finally, click Print.
