I need help with printing support. i followed a tutorial on dreamincode.net for printing and now i need help. When i print, it prints out two pages the first one has 0 in it and the second one has 00 on it. I am trying to get it to print out like this:


[Text Centered] Formula Name
[Text Centered] Formula Number
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Items from lstResult [Tab] [Tab] Values from lstResult2
