๐จ Decision Letter Printing
This article is out of date. Slate now features two PDF rendering engines; the author has not evaluated the new one.
Generally speaking, there are three pipelines for printing decision letters in Slate.
PDF Export

Decision Letter Export to Word
You can access this method in the query output options of a query on the Application base.
Pros
- Outputs
.docx
files - Can insert page breaks
Cons
- Requires using a VBA macro to insert images, modify fonts, etc.
Page Breaks
<p style="page-break-before: always">
MDN says that page-break-before
has been superseded by break-before
, but the latter does not work in Slate.
Mail Merge Word Document
Like Decision Letter Export to Word, this is accessed via query output options <in what base(s)?>.
With this method, the actual letter contents are in a Word template; you would upload the template to a Slate query containing exports for each merge field. This allows a lot of control but requires maintaining decision letter text in both the Word template and the Slate letter templates.
