How do I format an Access report to print data on 1/3 page

[Guest]

I need to print on forms that are 1/3 of a regular letter sized page cut
horizontally (8.5" x 3.667"). I cannot figure out how to format a report in
Access that accurately prints the data where it should go--one that prints
three identical 8.5" x 3.667" reports on a page.

I've tried changing the page format, the detail format, the column format.
Nothing works. Any hints?

If all else fails, you can try creating a custom sized label and defining
them to be three per page.

First you must define a new paper size in your Windows environment:
Goto control panel and open the printer and faxes option

Select from menu: Archivo | Propiedades del servidor
(as you can see, I have the spanish version of WinXP)

Create the new paper size that you need

Now you can use this paper size in your Access forms

Warning: there are non-printable margins in all printers, so your free area
for printing will be reduced a little bit
