How to: Set Up a Report Page (Report Builder 1.0)
To change the dimensions of the design area for a report, specify the settings you want to use in the Page Setup dialog box. The locale settings of the computer determine whether the dimensions appear as inches or centimeters. These page settings are saved with the report. Page measurement units are determined by the locale settings. The default margins are .5 inches on all sides (top, bottom, left, and right).
