The report is used in the query dialog box as the "form name" to be used in output. To have the result on screen, I can use the "print preview" option instead of the "to print" option, but the result is not satisfying since I either see too much or too little (with the zoom in / zoom out buttons).

You have to sacrifice something. Usually, preview window is satisfactory enough in regard to the fact, that it's not modifiable. Tell your users that this is MS standard screen including scroll, zoom, etc.
