I recently posted a thread regarding positioning the body of a report in the center of the printed page. There was no clear-cut way of doing this. I have since resorted to the possibility of setting the Left and Top margin for the reports through Delphi Code (i.e. CRReport.SetLeftMargin(x); and CRReport.SetTopMargin
.
I have played around with the Crystal Report objects themselves and seen something odd that I could do with an explanation for.
My page is set up in Landscape format with information filling the full (long) width of the page. If I go into the 'Printer Setup' from the File menu and then click 'Properties' against the selected Printer I get further options. Against the 'Paper Items' I am reading Size is :
210 x 297mm (A4) - whish is as I would expect. If I then check the 'Fit To Page' box and print the same page again I get the result of having the same page printed but on a smaller scale (it now fills about 4/5 of the original page width). Is this as expected or is something amiss ?
I'm working from Windows NT4 and the printer is HP LaserJet 1100.
Any explanation would help clear this issue up ....
Thanks,
Steve
