When you print a page, you can add data related to printing. A user-definable caption can be added to each printed page or story. The caption is printed on top of the page and the page content is shifted down.
Before specifying the caption, especially if it is a multi line, ensure that the media height is sufficient to accommodate the caption and the entire page content without clipping.
This caption can contain any fixed text, and a number of variable parameters including page number, section and zone, edition date, name and number, user printing the page, etc.
To specify print caption
In the Caption box on the General tab enter the appropriate syntax. Do not use accented letters, but just the ASCII set.
Use '*' for the predefined caption.
