XMAS GREETINGS! - NEED HELP PRINTING PAGE AREA

[Marc]

Hi,

I am setting up a orint function that prints the screen area. It is all
working except my screen area spans two print pages hwne viewed using a
print preview dialogue . I am trying to fnd a way to make the print
area fit onto a standard A4 paper print area.

Anyone any idea how I can control this and 'shrink' my current print
document?

Many Thanks

Marc
