Michael,
Either Custom page/paper size or what I find much better use Fineprint and
select 2 x logical pages per physical page. That way you can design all your
reports in standard A4 format and the printer will resize them down. It is
remarkable how good this looks even though the report comes out "half size"
in fact many of my users prefer this "booklet" format as opposed to the A4
style and it also saves the trees!

Also, first take alook at the printer driver as many drivers will allow you
to do this without using 3rd party software

Using custom page sizes in VFP7 is a bit tricky but no problem on VFP9, but
as I said I prefer Fineprint as you can do things like watermarking,
collation etc etc. If you also want PDF output look at PDF Factory by
Fineprint in which you can do similar "rescaling".

Subject: VFP8 Report question

I need to create a report that's probably 1/2 size of a regular 8.5x11 sheet
of paper.  Given this, I'm going to want to produce 2 documents on that
single sheet of paper so as to reduce waste.  I've never done this before
(or at least can't recall it).  How do I get VFP to print this kind of
report?

tia,
--Michael
