Not sure about that, but you can set dimensions in a Print CSS file. You can set page breaks etc, but I'm not sure that it can be set dynamically, unless you use js.

I'm sure you can Google 'css page-break', can't you?

I am not sure how you can add page break in plain text file. I think its dependent on software you use to open file like notepad/wordpad/word etc.

dear friends , i got my solutions by using \r\n for line break and \n\f for paze break
but remimber that report should contains 60 to 75 nos of line per page depending on font/fonte size u use
