Crystal Reports Basics: Solving a Crowded Page

This is based on the book, Crystal Reports: A Beginner’s Guide. For more detail and explanation, plus practice exercises, order the book here.

What should you do, if your report looks crowded because of all the groups and fields you have? Before you agonize too much over what to delete or what font sizes to use, try changing the orientation and the margins. Crystal Reports will, by default, set up your page as a letter-sized page in portrait orientation. Changing to a landscape orientation significantly increases the horizontal space. You can also adjust the margins for less border and more useable page, but be careful not to exceed the abilities of your printer.

For even more functionality, you can use third-party programs, such as the ones available here.
