Widening page width to fit more data

Hi,
I am running Crystal 11.0 and I am having problem fitting all of my data on to the report. I have 48 data elements I would like to see. I have set the printer to 11x17 and have selected landscape yet it does not provide enough space. Any ideas would be appreciated and I would like to keep the data a row format. Not vertical.
Thanks

Hi David,
You can make a wider report by creating virtual pages. Virtual pages are the extra pages to the right of the main page that get created to accommodate cross-tabs that are wider than a single page. By inserting a cross-tab in a report then suppressing it, you can create a report that is multiple pages wide.
Insert and Suppress a Cross-Tab
1. On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Cross-Tab'.
2. In the Cross-Tab Expert, click any field and move it into the 'Columns' box, and click any field and move it into the 'Summarized Fields' box. Do not move any fields into the 'Rows' box.
3. Click the 'Customize Style' tab and select the following check boxes:
" Suppress Empty Rows
" Suppress Empty Columns
" Suppress Row Grand Totals
" Suppress Column Grand Totals
4. Click the 'OK' button and then insert the cross-tab into the Report Header section.
5. On the 'Report' menu, click 'Format Sections'. Click 'Report Header' and select the 'Underlay Following Sections' check box.
When you run the report you will not see the cross-tab, but you will be able to scroll to the right and see multiple virtual pages.
====================
NOTES:
" As there are no rows to the Cross-Tab, it does not carry on to Page 2 and the virtual pages do not appear past the first page.
" To increase or decrease the number of virtual pages do one of the following:
Limit the number of records for the field in the 'Column' box of the 'Cross-Tab Expert' using the 'Select Expert'.
Change the width of the 'Column' field in the Cross-Tab by moving the edges of the field.
====================
How to Insert Fields on Virtual Pages
You cannot drag-and-drop a field onto a virtual page, you can only do so on the main page. To get a field to appear on a virtual page:
1. Insert the field on the main page.
2. Click the 'Preview' tab.
3. Drag the right edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
4. Drag the left edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
Or easier is to change the printer page orientation to landscape. If you need it even bigger install a printer that can handle large paper sizes. Plotters can get up to 42 inches or more.
Cross tabs can be limiting depending on what you want to do but they can also be of great use if it fits your model.

Cannot adjust page width to fit to screen size on some PCs with IE

Hello friends, I am using APEX 4.0 and IE9 on different Windows 7 PCs . The page will go way off the screen to the right on one PC, and fits nicely inside the screen on another PC. This problem does not occur in Firefox on any PC. I have used Firebug to try to isolate the template or css settings. Using Theme_4, I have a breadcrumb region and 4 reports regions. One of the reports regions is in column 1 and 3 regions are in column 2. Display point is Page Template Body (3. Items above region content) for all the reports regions. The CSS is #themes/theme_4/css/theme_4_0.css. The template is One Level Tabs (Right Sidebar/Table Based). I tried various width="" using px and % under Edit Page Template-Definition-Body (see below). I tried style="width:800px" within the <div> tags. I have tried various other changes to theme_4_0.css and apex_4_0.css with no visible change to the page width on the obstinate PCs. I reset IE setting and deleted all personal settings on both PCs with no changes to either one, one fits on the screen and the other does not. The issue is that most of our users use IE so most of them will have to live with using the horizontal scroll bar to see the regions in column 2, unless we switch them all to Firefox (not a bad option, except that option works for our users only, we have no control over external browsers). I have tried suggestions from many discussion threads, as this problem has bothered us for quite some time. I know this is an IE problem, but any help is appreciated. Thank you.
"|" represents screen size and "-" is the regions/content for the "bad" PCs.
|----------|----------
The "good" PCs look like this:
|----------|

<div id="body">
<table class="tbl-body" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary="">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tbl-main" width="100%">#REGION_POSITION_02##BOX_BODY#</td>
<td class="tbl-sidebar">#REGION_POSITION_03#</td>

I think your concerns are very reasonable. But I want to sort of refocus things a little bit for you here... it's not really a PC vs Mac issue... Rather, it's specifically an Internet Explorer issue. And you might say that this is synonymous...still 98% of the world uses IE, and you would be correct. Hopefully when the final version of IE7 comes out, it will finally embrace some of the modern day OPEN web standards without trying to make too many standards of its own (this is Microsoft, though).
Anyways, in the meantime, I guess we all try to make the best of it. It's very easy to conclude that iWeb is not a viable tool for you, as long as you have something else to "fall back" on. With my limited knowledge of all things HTML, I have no such luxury. Instead, I have put up a notice on my site for IE users only that the site might not look its best on IE....this notice also encourages IE users to use FireFox, which is very much like Safari and will in 99% of cases display your iWeb pages just like you expect. You can see how I've done this here (but you have to surf from IE)... http://blog.dirtdoog.com
I think many people in the PC world understand the limitations of IE. Certainly many don't, but you have to consider your likely audience, I guess. I believe that your website content is king. If your content is compelling enough to your intended audience, they will jump through hoops to see it in its full glory....but you have to make them aware of the problem. That's why I have chosen to take the path that I have taken.
Let me know what you think.

Expand page width without creating new section- please help!

When I expand the width of my page, iWeb creates a new section instead of expanding my content. Does anyone know how to fix this?? Thank you!

Here is a visual refferance. The first tab of the inspector is the "page inspector" then click Layout then adjust page width to fit your needs

REQ: Add 'Fit-width' or 'Fit-visible' view mode, in which the zoom level is automatically set based on the width of the _current_ page.

Currently, the default zoom level when viewing a page of a PDF file is automatically calculated based on the width of the "widest" page of the document. This means that, if the document contains one page that is wider than the others or is in landscape orientation, then the default zoom, when viewing all the other narrower pages, is set in a way so that the page does not use the full width of the screen. This results in very poor experience, because the zoom level and the visible area of the page have to be constantly adjusted for each page. The latest update (at the time of writing) has added some extra view modes, but not the much needed 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible'.
Personally, I can find no reason valid enough to justify the lack of such a view mode. Automatically setting the zoom level based on the width of the current page so as to take advantage of the full width of the screen should be a must have feature for mobile devices, if not the default behavior. The current default behavior regarding the zoom level is pretty much useless, even on 8"/10" screens. There should be a view mode in which the full width of the screen is always used to display the document.
Examples of documents for which the Adobe Reader for Android provides a poor reading experience are:
documents which contain some of their pages in landscape orientation.
publications which, apart from the main content, also contain the full front and back cover in a single page (usually first page which is much wider than the content pages) or any other extra pages like cards or application forms (that are meant to be printed) which usually use an A4/Letter page size etc.
documents which have been cropped by external utilities or scripts so as to eliminate unneeded white margins (in some cases not all pages have the same width).
Please consider fixing the default behavior in future releases of the Reader for Android or add a 'Fit width' or 'Fit visible' view mode.
Thank you in advance.

Improved descriptions of example documents.

To add to this, if you prefer you can separate your JavaScript from your JSF pages.
Add a folder (I named mine 'js') to your application's ViewController project's public_html folder.
Via JDeveloper, create a new JavaScript file inside your newly created folder and place your JavaScript functions inside it.
You can then 'load' the .js file using the method Shantala described, with the addition of an added 'source' property to the af:reference tag.
(This can also be a URI reference to a JavaScript file hosted on a web server)
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
<af:resource source="/js/myJsFile.js" type="javascript"/>
</f:facet>The benefits of this 'split' are cleaner JSF page source and also code-highlighting and formatting within the .js file making finding and fixing bugs in your JavaScript much easier.
It appears however, that when using <af:resource> to load scripts, once the page has been submitted even once, the JavaScript is no longer available to the page. Which isn't very useful.
A solution is to use <trh:script>.
Add xmlns:trh="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/html" to your <jsp:root> tag and install the library.
then in place of the above code use:
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
<trh:script id="script1" source="/js/myJsFile.js"/>
</f:facet>Now after a page submit the JavaScript still functions.

Reporting Services - Horizontal Scrollbar not scrolling sometimes fields exceed page width

We have a landscape report with lots of fields, causing report to span in width, more than page width. We don't print the report, just view it. Problem is that sometimes when previewing the report, the horizontal scroll bar opens to a size of the whole report
window and there's no actual scrolling functionality to have the report show what's to the right of the data shown.
We checked this with IE8, IE9, and as it seems there are entries on the internet about such problem, but we haven't encounted an entry with solution / bypass to this problem, when relating to preview within report builder / VS / Reporting Services in
IE (they relate there only to reportviewer control if at all).
We did find that in this event, manually zooming the IE window where the report result is shown, helps the horizontal scroll bar go back to what it should be, and work, e.g. zooming down to 75% and returning in zoom up to 100%....
Can you please advise ? Thank u

Hi moital,
Just as you said, I still think the issue is caused by Internet Explorer. We can try to
run IE in
compatibility mode or
disable third party add-ons
of Internet Explorer (IE) to check the issue again. If this issue
is still existed, I suggestion you post the question in the following forum:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/home?category=internetexplorer.
It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

IWeb Page Width Frustrations - Can't get it to scale appropriately

So, I've been googling and trying to figure out the answer to this question for a few hours here, and can't seem to figure it quite out.
I'm using the Freestyle theme, and I want to make the page layout a bit wider, so I set the page width to 980 px. After doing this, I can expand / scale to fill everything except the header graphic. I can't seem to figure out a way to select it to expand it.
Has anyone had this problem? How do I go about getting the header to fit my page? Many points to the answerer of this problem.
Picture of the problem -
http://imgur.com/sGt2b.jpg

Because that theme and most of the others except for Black, White, Modern Frame and Formal (except for the Blog layout) use non scalable graphic elements as part of their layout design you won't be able to widen the page automatically. You might try placing a shape of the color you want under the navbar and over the existing object.
For maximum control over a site's design use one of the four themes I mentioned above and add your own layout graphics. To make the navbar font colors, regular, rollover and visited, something other than what the theme provides you can follow the instructions in this tutorial: #24 - How to Change the Basic, Rollover and Visited Color of an iWeb Navbar.

How do you make html page resize to fit any browser

Hi All,
How do you make the html page resize to fit any browser/window both vert and horizontally.
Thanks!
Randy

Horizontally by using percentage width instead of pixels. This is called a liquid layout.
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/CSS2-Liquid-Page.shtml
Vertical resizing is irrelevant in web design. Page content determines page height. The more content, the longer the page. The less content, the shorter the page. Scrollbars appear when needed.

Is 700 pixels the standard, safe page width?

Is the standard width for a page still 700 pixels? Or more? Mine are all set at 700 but I am considering widening them to 800. What would be a downside? Would some monitors be unable to see an 800-pixel page?????
~ Lorna in Southern California

The "real" answer to your question:
You are the Web page author and you get to decide the browser page width.
I get thousands of page "hits" each month but most of my pages do not set the browser page width (they scale based on the user settings).
iWeb "default" page width (700 pixels) will work in any browser but my "stats" from page visitors show about only 10% have a page width setting under 800 pixels. The rest all have larger settings.
The Web page author must also consider other "mobile" devices that may be viewing their pages and, if you target them, you should make a single page code that works for all visitors.
If you get feedback that your visitors are having trouble viewing without scrolling then your page width is too large. If your own viewing experience at your pages changes the text layout to a design that you don't like then you can always go back and reduce page width.
What I do know is people don't like to scroll "sideways" but nearly always expect to scroll down.
Hope this helps you sort things out.

Standard Page Width

I am going to tackle my first fireworks project.
With there being so many more wide screen monitors now, what is the current standard for page width?

You do whatever fits your project and the expected user base.
That said, a number of people like 960, because it is evenly divisible by so many numbers and so is flexible for dividing into columns.

CRM 2007 IC : error "BP category 2 does not fit the data in category 1"

Hi Guys,
When I am trying to save the data on the Bupacreate page it gives the error as follows.
"BP category 2 does not fit the data in category 1".
Can anyone suggest what is causing this error to happen and how this error can be corrected.
thanks & regards
Sandy

Hi,
This error usually occrus when you try to set field in without specifing bptype ie person, group etc. In our scenario we were trying to set field in Person which was not present in group. but since do_prepare_output method is same in both, that feild was getting set for group as well. When we placed restriction this error got removed.

Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

Hi,
Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
Is there a workaround for this issue?

How do I set Page Width to Multiple Pages?

How do I set Page Width to Multiple Pages?
I notice when Cross Tabs are used, the report spans over several pages in width. Can I set this option without using a cross-tab? Since I am having trouble finding a paper width that is 100 inches wide, I was thinking of just using multiple pages.
Thanks,
Linda

Hi Linda,
Try inserting an OLEDB object and select a bitmap and insert a blank bitmap in report header. Now go to preview and right click on OLEDB Object go to format graphic>picture>change the width of the picture
If the width exceeds more than the width of the page then it create virtual pages.
Hope this helps!
