Horizontally increase width of the Crystal Report

[hharan]

If I have for example 25 fields in a report, actually there is a limit to width of report page in CR, and I think it depends up on type of printer configured to the machine. I want to know whether we can change the page size even if it is not supported by the configured printer. if I have more than 25 fields for instance, then they will shrink, I want the report to grow horizontally.Is there any way to increase the width of the report

What I have always done is set the paper size to Legal, landscape, which is the widest paper my printer will support. I also make the font 8, which is the smallest I can make it. Finally, if the report is still too narrow I export to excel to be able to read it.

I wish there was an option to extend vertical limits beyond the paper size, similar to the way that crosstab reports are treated. If it exists I have yet to find it. Software Support for Sage Mas90, Macola, Crystal Reports, Goldmine and MS Office

Haran and Sekar, Yes you can increase the width of the report. When creating a new report select "Custom Multi-Column" as the report type. It will ask you for the width of the page in inches.

Hope this helps...

If the report is not producing hard-copies (i.e exporting to Excel etc.) you can set-up a fictitous wide-format printer/plotter with a "File" destination and use the largest paper-size available (A3,A0 etc).This helps to some degree but only if you don't need oodles columns and don't have to print the report.
