Right to Left Orientation Margin

[Benjamins via AccessMonster.com]

Hi,

I was going to print a report base on Right to Left Orientation. But there is
a problem when printing. The date should be at the extreme right, which the
last digit of the date is 0.2" form the right edge. No matter how i print, It
always print 0.4" inch form the right edge even though i set the margin to 0.
2" (The printer accept a margin of up to 0.05")

Please help on the issus. Thanks.

Is that 0.4" or 0.04"? If it is 0.4" then either the report width or the left
margin is improperly set. All printing is measured from the left edge of the
paper. Nothing is measured from the right edge. The right edge is a physical
barrier equal to the paper width minus the minimum left margin and minus the
printers' working width.

The printer does not accept right margins "up to" 0.05". The printer accepts
right margins "down to" 0.05". Try setting the right margin to 0.05" and see
what happens. If the report width is so critical that losing 0.03" of width is
a problem, then something else is going to have to give.

Hi,

It is 0.4".

The printer accept "down to" 0.05" for both left and right margin.

If i use the left to right orientation, the date can go up till the margin
that i have stated. But for right to left orientation, the date will have a
gap of 0.4" inch from the right margin

Since the report that need to print is base on right margin, that is why i
set the report to right to left orientation

Sounds like you're using booklet printing software that is setting its own
margin inside you margins.

Since the report that need to print is base on right margin, that is why i
set the report to right to left orientation

I'm using A97 and setting the report for right to left orientation is not an
option. However, the text align property of text boxes within the report does
allow Align Right. It is like right justification. If the text boxes are
sized to fill the space inside the two margins maybe that can accomplish what
you want.

Look up Tab Control in the help files and see if that can help you.
You would have to determine the length of each line in a record set and find
the longest line. Then write an equation to calculate where the tab location
for the longest line needs to be so the last character just comes up to the
right margin. Then use that tab value for all the lines in that record set.
The tab value will probably be different for every record set.
