Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.



SYMPTOMS
When you use the Database Documentor or the Print Definition command to print or preview a report containing design information for a database object, the report is truncated.



CAUSE
The default printer's orientation is set to landscape, and the paper size is set to legal (8.5 by 11 inches).



RESOLUTION
Change the printer settings so that the paper size is not set to legal or so that the orientation is not set to landscape.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 2.0. This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) In Windows Control Panel, double-click the Printers icon, and then change the settings for the default printer so that its orientation is set to landscape and the paper size is set to legal (8.5 by 11 inches).
 * 2) Start Microsoft Access.
 * 3) Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.
 * 4) In the Database window, select the Employees table.
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Print Definition. In the Print Table Definition dialog box, choose OK.
 * 6) Note that the report that is created is truncated after two pages.
 * 7) Return the default printer settings to their original values.
