[AccessD] Designing reports on B-sized paper

Stuart,

Thanks for your reply.  This is very interesting as I'm sure that if
you use the AutoReport: Columnar option when building a New Report,
you'll get every column in the selected table stretched across
multiple page widths...that is, one can paste them together.  Of
course, the default page size of 8.5" x 11" is used for the report
design.

Hmmm...the only place I can test whether a report designed for 11" x
17" will print out multiple page-widths on a printer that can handle
only 8.5" x 11" paper is at work.  Maybe I'll try something after
hours...
