how to change horizontal size of layout?

[Neuronal Nerd]

Changing the vertical size of a layout seems fairly simple (click and drag). However, I cannot figure out how to adjust the horizontal size???

Thanks

HI Brad

The grey line on the right is indicative of your available print area so go into print setup (in the file drop down menu) and you can change the horizontal size there.

That worked. Thanks. However, all of my layouts changed sizes instead of the just one.

I'm trying to accomplish having a larger layout (8.5 x 11) where I enter in client information, but then have a side window that is the size of a narrow strip that lists all of the current clients.

This may not be possible. I guess I can just control the window size without changing the print size, but I didn't like the cosmetics of that.

You should script all your reports and form printouts. This way you can store the Page Setup (and number of records to print) in each script. Attach the scripts to buttons, and it makes it easy to print your reports and forms in their proper page size and orientation.

You can't really change the width of a layout.

You can change the printable width of a layout (using page setup). And you can change the visible width of a layout (by resizing the window). You can also create a fill background of the narrow width you want and place all your controls on there.

From your description though, it sounds like you may want to put the narrow strip on the same layout as the entry, but have it separated graphically (using line tool, rectangle tool, fill colors, etc).
