I'd like to print column headings (i.e., Fields) at the top of every page of a printout.  They only print on page one.  Is there a way to do this without, say, copying all the data to an Excel spreadsheet and messing with column widths, line heights, etc., to get the desired results?  Did I overlook a setting?  I tried the Zoot help file.

I have a folder with many items consisting of four columns of variable length text data that I print in landscape format. I'd really like to see the four column names at the top of every page.

I’m printing to Firefox.  I looked to see if there are any settings in Firefox but didn’t see anything that might help.

Explain more about "consisting of four columns".  Where are these columns?  Are these columns in the grid, or ...

The columns are in the Item Grid.  The columns, from left to right, consist of Subject (standard field), Attraction (user-defined), Location (user-defined) and Notes & Info (user-defined).

 

I’m using it to classify info re possible tourist attractions in Seoul, Korea and sorting it into neighborhoods/districts given the vast area involved.  There are 1200 items (650 folders) in the DB which I’ve accumulated since 2014.  For some items, I’ve added info to the three user-defined fields in order to sort and make sense of the whole thing.

 

Then I print only the items that have data in the three User-defined fields after sorting by location.

I'll have the column head frozen in the next release.  That should drop in a week or so. 
 
I wonder what ChatGPT could do with that table?  🤯
