I'm trying to create a new report that will be 13" wide on legal paper. I found an existing report that is set up the way but I notice that on the column tab of the Page Setup that the "same as detail" checkbox is checked. On my new report, once I set the width to 13" and try to check this box, it defaults the width back to the original value. What is the function of this checkbox and how do I see my report up for a 13" width??

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Legal size paper 8 1/2 x 14 inches? If so, that would mean you are in Landscape mode with your page setup.
As for the "same as detail" check box, if you check it, the page will set to the same width as the Detail section of the report, so even if you have your margins set to allow for a 13" wide page setting if the Detail section is only 10" then you will have only a 10" page.
