I'm looking for a method to resize the page width Crystal Reports gives me to place fields in my .rpt file. So far I have discovered if I right click on the report, select 'design'/'printer setup', I can select the size of the paper I want the report to print out on. If I select 'Orientation/Landscape' I can increase the width of the page and I can place more fields on the report. My goal: Place all of my fields on my report (around 25 of them) and export the data to Excel. Right now I do not have enough width to place all of the fields in the .rpt file. Is there a way to increase the width of the page to an arbitrary number?
