I have a text field for a product specification that is set to 500 characters in the database.
In PHPR, I have checked 'truncate' and set the display to 100 characters... on the list page this works fine - click '...more' and the popup shows the entire text.
On the Printer Friendly page - the truncated text is displayed... with no way to click 'more' on a printout this is a bit of a problem.
Is there a way to have the truncated text on the list view but have the full text print out?

Hi,
as workaround create alias for this field on the Edit SQL query tab:

select field1,

field1 as field1_print,

...

from TableName


Then set up field1_print as HTMLon the "View as" settings dialog on theVisual Editor tab.
