How to the Adjust Page Margin and Orientation in Access
You are probably familiar with margins, or the empty space between the text and the left, right, top, and bottom edges of a printed page. The default margins for a report are .25 inches at the top, bottom, left, and right. This lesson will go over how to adjust the margins of your report. You will also learn how to change the page orientation.
If you want to fine-tune the margin size, click the Page Setup button on the Page Setup tab, click the Print Options tab, and enter the exact top, bottom, left, and right margin sizes you want to use.
Everything you print uses one of two different types of paper orientations: portrait and landscape. In Portrait orientation (the default for Access reports), the paper is taller than it is wide. In Landscape orientation, the paper is wider than it is tall.
You can also print preview a report by clicking the Home tab on the ribbon, clicking the View button list arrow in the View group, and selecting Print Preview. Or, click the Print Preview button on the Status bar.
Access displays the report as it will look when printed.
