Руководство Пользователя для Xerox Paris, a document system Support & Software

The Overflow option allows you to define the form
and page definition to be used when a text block overflows.
This is an extremely useful option that is also very simple to use.

Imagine you have a statement type application that is normally one page, but
can sometimes go to multiple pages. The single page format might contain the
address details, a list of transactions and a payment advice.

When there are too many transactions to fit the single page format, you
normally want the continuation page to be a different layout, in other words
you would want to invoke a different set of rules in an overflow situation.

When the ‘Overflow’ option is activated via the checkbox, PARIS counts the
number of lines for this text block as it normally would.

When the maximum number of lines for the text block is reached, instead of
automatically jumping to the next available text block, it goes into its
overflow processing loop. The software goes to a new page and uses the
pagedef and form listed in the overflow box to format the subsequent pages.

Selecting the Active checkbox activates the option and the Page and
Form buttons.

Selecting the Page button will display the Select Page Definition
dialogue for selection of the required pagedef.

Selecting the Form button will display the Select/Enter File To Load
dialogue for selection of the required form.
