Hello, I am trying to build a report in Crystal Reports XI for mailing labels and would like to change the page size to a custom size or at least one that is not available in the drop down 4" X 6". Can someone explain how this done or tell how to upload a new Avery Label template. Thanks for you help. ------------- Stephen |

"After much research and trial/error, I think I found a solution...
Go to Start > Settings > Printers. Select File > Server Properties. Select Create New Form. Type a name for your new form. Enter the paper size of your form. You can also enter the margins if applicable. Click Ports. Select the port to which the printer is attached. Click Drivers. Select the printer driver. Click Save Form. Return to Crystal Reports. Go to Page Setup. Your new form should be listed in the drop-down list in the Page Options panel. It will set your horizontal and vertical dimensions to the same as you added on your new form. This will also keep the orientation correct (not changing between portrait and landscape). Hope this helps someone else facing this problem. Warmest regards, Gilley Estes" His issue was about creating a custom sized form.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the help, I would have never figured that one out. The report prints like I want it to now.

Me neither, and since I knew that I would never be able to find it again, I emailed it to myself for future reference.
Glad someone could help
