I have multiple forms which are 13.5 " wide and fit the screen well.
The end user would like to be able to print the form.
All efforts have failed at "reducing" the size of the form to have it fit
letter size sheets. Instead, the form prints on four pages.
Any suggestions before I manually redesign my forms?

Click to expand...

Gee... Forms are not designed for printing.
That's what Reports are for.
Create a report of the form by right-clicking on the form name on the
main database folder and select Save As.
Enter a name for the report and select Report from the "As" drop-down
box.
Now you can resize the new report as needed.

Yes. Don't try to print forms. They were never intended for that. Reports
are for printing, so create a report that displays the data the way you
want, and put a button on your form to print the report.
