Page Setup dialog: Margins tab

Use this dialog to select margin values (for more information, see "About elements of a printed worksheet in Discoverer Plus Relational"). For example, if you are using a Fit to page option, you might want to make a worksheet or graph bigger by increasing the amount of available print space.

The margins you specify determine the space available when selecting the scaling options on the "Page Setup dialog: Table/Crosstab tab" and the "Page Setup dialog: Graph tab".

Units

Use this drop down list to change the units used by the fields below. For example, you might want to display the values below as either 1 inch, 2.54 centimetres, or 72 pixels.

Top

Use this field to specify the size of the top margin. The greater the value, the more space between the top of the printed page and the first line of the worksheet (for example, the worksheet title or first row of data on each page).

Note: If the top margin is less than the header margin, the header does not print.

Left

Use this field to specify the size of the left margin. The greater the value, the more space between the left side of the printed page and the worksheet data or graph.

Bottom

Use this field to specify the size of the bottom margin. The greater the value, the more space between the bottom of the printed page and the last line of the worksheet (for example, the worksheet text area or last row of data on each page).

Note: If the bottom margin is less than the footer margin, the footer does not print.

Right

Use this field to specify the size of the right margin. The greater the value, the more space between the right side of the printed page and the worksheet data or graph.

Header

Use this field to specify the amount of the space between the top of the printed page and the header text specified on the "Page Setup dialog: Header/Footer tab".

Note: If a header margin is greater than a top margin, a header does not print.

Footer

Use this field to specify the amount of the space between the bottom of the printed page and the footer text specified on the "Page Setup dialog: Header/Footer tab".

Note: If a footer margin is greater than a bottom margin, the footer does not print.
