Re: How to do Conditional Formatting?

I'm at a loss at how I can write a @Case statement that will print the
table on the first-run, gather the page numbers, and on the 2nd run test
whether it fit on the current page. I have grown up using programming
languages where everything is done in one pass, so that is where the
conceptual problem is coming from.
