How to do page setting before print?
Answers
Select page setup options
After you create your report you can set options for the print layout in the Page Setup dialog box. These options help you fine tune the format with options for margin settings, use of gridlines and columns, or print only the data from the report without the formatting. To set the print page options, complete the following steps:
In the Navigation Pane, right-click the report and then click Print Preview.
On the Print Preview tab, in the Page Layout group, click Page Setup and set the margins, orientation and column settings that you want.
