Reports the height of each printed page if a field is printed.Syntax:

get the pageHeights of <field>

Examples:

set the height of field 1 to line 1 of the pageHeights of field 1

Use the pageHeights property to determine how much to scroll a field(keyword) during printing.

The value reported by the pageHeights property is a list of numbers separated by returns. Each number is the height in pixels of a page full of text.

You can use the pageHeights property to print the entire contents of a field(keyword) by printing the field(keyword), setting the field's scroll to the first line of the pageHeights, printing the field(keyword) again, setting the scroll to the current scroll plus line 2 of the pageHeights, and so on.

The computations used by the pageHeights property assume the field's borderWidth property is set to zero and its margins is set to 6.
