Report with more columns than will fit on a page

Question

<p>I&#39;m just beginning to use Crystal Reports (30-day Developer eval). I&#39;m trying to create a report with more fields than will fit across one page. The "extra" fields seem to wrap on the first page. I&#39;d really like to print the report across two pages, like Excel does with its "Fit to 2 pages wide" option.</p><p>Is this possible in Crytal? What do folks do when their report is "wider" than the width of the page? </p><p>&#160;</p>

Answer 1

This is a relatively easy fix. Basically you need to make a huge default page for your printer, and use that layout when printing.
1. On Windows, go to Start -> Printers & Faxes
2. Click on File -> Server Properties
3. Check 'Create a new form'
4. Change the form name field to something you can remember... I called mine GIGANTIC CRYSTAL LAYOUT
5. At the bottom change the units to the size you would like. I use 100" wide x 14" tall.Â
6. Click Save Form when you are done.
7. Then click 'Close'
In crystal start your report (or create a new one) and change your printer settings to use this new form. If it doesn't show up under your default printer, try changing the printer crystal is looking at, and selecting your new form.
 Hope that helps.
