Hello Sergey

I am talking about Vfp Report tables. the Ms Word i used to try to figure out how this SCALE thing "could" be working. i know its not the same, but i think those expr commands/settings are send directly to the printer, rather then beeing evaluated and converted from the app.

if this is true, this should be working/looking the same like ms word and the scale setting should be actually a 'page size' specified with a number. thats as far as the research got me. but its not working, no matter how i specify the scale in the expr field.
