I'm having a few problems with FileMaker PRO, in a database recently
converted from FileMaker II:

-- I added a "Company" field to a mailing label layout.  Normally, this
   is blank, so I checked off "Slide empty field up" (or whatever it's
   called), but nothing slides.  Did FileMaker create a non-empty
   field in every one of my records, or am I doing something wrong?

-- The labels won't print on an ImageWriter under System 7.0 beta.
   FileMaker stops with "System Error -51" (Missing Resource, I believe.)
   Under System 7, I'm using Helvetica (which is a TrueType font).
   I worked around this (slightly) by booting my recovery 6.0.7 disk
   and using draft mode.  Does anyone know if this is a System 7 problem?

Thanks for any advice.

Martin.
