I have had a quick look and would say not. Firstly it writes direct to
the printer and secondly it is too procedural. Something similar could
probably be achieved via the pageSequenceHook() mechanism which is
loosely documented in ppRef4.htm, though a bit of trial and error
would be needed. Basically the idea is to experiment with a few simple
layouts similar to what you want to create, to see what the pagetable
needed would be like, then attempt to build one (ie when preview asks
rather than the grprint.ew way) by starting with a "dummy" layout and
datastream, eg just to print the word dummy once, then reconstruct a
pagetable as you really want it.
Hope that makes sense,
Pete
