Default Extract auto-calc % scale so as to construct a macro to addcontrolled Page Breaks

Thanks for anyone's help.


I found the answer on a microsoft help site! Just setting the number
of pages option to 'False' allows the automatic function to still work
and maintain the page breaks. I do not mean to waste anyone's time,
and hopefully this information will help someone else.
