Fit to page width

edited February 2003 in General
I have a generic report that has columns created based on a dbgrid. If
there are lot sof columns on the grid then these obviously do not fit on an
A4 piece of paper. Excel has a nice facility were by you can fit to page.
Is it possible to do this in Reportbuilder or has anybody managed to do it
differently?

Any help much appreciated

    There is no shrink to page setting in RB. In RB when you create a report
    layout, you specify the page size and that is the size that will be printed.
    One solution would be to write a wizard or layout generator that shrinks the
    Labels and DBTexts so that they fit.

    Another alternative is to print the report in a spreadsheet style in which
    the columns cross the page boundary.
