I try to use PageXofY.CC on my report and
 it seems that it needs to render the .rep  but I want my .rep to be 
previewed in preview.wfm first

is there a way to skip/hide  the rendering process ?

Sorry, but no ... it has to render the report to a temporary file to 
determine the number of pages, so it can tell you that information as 
the "of Y" part of the text.

It shouldn't be showing the choose printer form. But it will show the 
"Printing" dialog, which I have no control over. Why is it popping up

the chooseprinter dialog?
