Page Setup dialog: Table/Crosstab tab

Use this dialog to select page ordering, scaling, and whether to repeat worksheet headers on each printed page. For example, you might want Discoverer to adjust the scaling to fit an entire worksheet onto one printed page.

Table/Crosstab Page Order

Use these options to specify how you want to print reports that do not fit onto one printed page.

• Across, then Down

  Use this option to print the all columns before printing the rows that do not fit on the first printed page. For example, you have a report with five columns and 100 rows. You can fit four columns and 50 rows on each printed page. Using this option prints:

  • Rows 1 to 50 for the first four columns on page one and rows 1 to 50 for column five on page two

  • Rows 51 to 100 for the first four columns on page three and rows 51 to 100 for column five on page four

  
  

• Down, then Across

  Use this option to print all rows for the first set of columns before printing the columns that do not fit on the first printed page. For example, you have a report with five columns and 100 rows. You can fit four columns and 50 rows on each printed page. Using this option prints:

  • Rows 1 to 50 for the first four columns on page one and rows 51 to 100 for the first four columns on page two

  • Rows 1 to 50 for column five on page three and rows 51 to 100 for column five on page four

  
  

Repeat Row, Column and Page Item Headers on Every Page

Use this check box to specify whether to print header information on every printed page.

Table/Crosstab scaling

Use these options to increase or decrease the amount of space occupied by the worksheet within the specified margins.

Hint: You can also increase the amount of space available on a printed page by changing the margin sizes (for more information, see "Page Setup dialog: Margins tab").

• Adjust to

  Use this option to increase or decrease the report size by the specified percentage. For example, you might want to make a report smaller, to fit on a half a printed page.

• Fit to

  Use this option when you want to increase or decrease the size of the report to fit a specified number of pages. For example, you might want to print a report that covers three printed pages in full size onto a single printed page.

  • Pages Wide

    Use this field to specify the number of pages on which you want to print the worksheet. For example, you might want to fit six worksheet columns onto one printed page.

  • Pages Tall

    Use this field to specify the number of pages on which you want to print the worksheet. For example, you might want to fit 100 worksheet rows onto one printed page.
