Access Tip -  Reducing report margins

While you're previewing an Access report, you may notice that many of the fields have been cut off at the right margin. You go in and resize the field control to display the entire field's data, but the column of data for that field now prints on a second page. Changing the size of the control has increased the overall width of the report, making it too large to fit on a single page using the default margins. You need to reduce the size of your margins so the last column of data is not forced on to another page. To reduce margin sizes: 

  1. Double-click the name of the report in the database window.

  2. Click the Setup button in the Print Preview toolbar.

  3. Change the left and right margins from one inch to .75, or lower as needed, and click OK.
