Page Setup dialog
Use the Page Setup dialog to specify the page layout or format for the printed report. You can set the page margins, border, label (column title) placement, headers, footers, and specify the default font characteristics for the report labels and properties.
This graphic is described in the surrounding text.
Margins
Specify the amount of white space from the edge of the page to the report body. Enter a number (in inches or centimeters) up to two decimal places such as, .25 (1/4 inch) or .635 (1/4 centimeter) which specifies to start printing the report body a quarter inch from the edge of the paper.
Do not use - (minus sign) before the number, for example, do not use -.25. A negative number prints the edge of the report body off the page.
