Hi Lutz,

Thank you for your input. Use PDF printer won't work for me; I cannot tell the customers how to view reports.
But I may do what you suggest and make the right margin a little bigger (calculating the width difference between American Paper and the A4 size) and this way it will look ok on either format.
