How to define the size of report area and its elements?

[Former Member]

How can I define the report area size and its elements? And how can I define that for each printed paper, the details area will repeat horizontally or vertically?

Is there any way to change the measuring units?

Are there any difference between Crystal Reports that is bundled with Visual Studio 2005 to the standalone version that don't allow me doing what I need?

Thanks.

Hi Juliano,

I hope this is what you had in mind...

1. File / Page setup: set your paper size, portrait/landscape and margins.

2. Section Expert: the page header &footer sections are 'locked' in that each page will have the space indicated dedicated to these sections; report header & footer - this is the space dedicated on the first and last page of the document. The remaining space available will be used up by the Details section.

I'm not sure how you can get the Details to print verticall vs horizontally - except maybe with cross-tab format.

3. Measuring units: is this for the ruler? This is pulled from your computer settings.

The rest I'm not sure about but I hope this is enough to get you started!
