    Width control - how to? Office2007

    This is frustrating!

    I have changed my margins to narrow. I do not have anything out there on the left side. My data is all printed two inches in.

    How do I move the width of the design over so it will be within the length of the page.



    Thanks for the how to. It sure is not obvious. I been fishing for one hour today.

    I have a 3 page report printing as 6 pages.

    :
    1. In the Database window, select the form, and then click Design View to open the form in Design view.
    2. On the View menu, click Properties, and then click the Format tab.
    3. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Page tab.
    4. Make sure that the total value of the Width property of the form plus the printer margins does not exceed the specified page width in the Page Setup dialog box.
    5. Make sure that the orientation of the page in the Page Setup dialog box matches the form's width and height.
    6. Click the Columns tab in the Page Setup dialog box, click to select the Same as Detail check box under Column Size, and then click OK to not allow the column size to be larger than the form size.
