After some sleep I found a way.  It's a list of addresses.  I can count 
the records, and I know there can 28 records on one page, so just some 
mathematics and that's ok.  Just have to figure out if I got to start 
over with my coordinates (as with a new page) or that I that I have to 
count further form the top of page 1.

Layout before your printing?  That's a thought to investigate.
I reacted to hard yesterday evening I think (lack of sleep).  There's 
alway a way around.
