Removing blank space caused by wide table

Hi all,

Report:

-For instance 2 small tables (eg. width 10cm = 3 inch?)

-And one wide table (eg. width 30cm = 10 inch?)

All separated by "insert pagebreak after table".

Problem:

When rendered, the pages with the small tables on have a lot of white blank space at the right of the table. This is probably caused by the big table on page 3.

This report is distributed by email in Excell format. So on sheet 1 and 2 there are a lot of white cells on the right of the tables. When trying to print, they just want to use the "landscape" option and the "fit to page" option. Because of the empty white cells, the fit to page option reduces the first 2 tables to a very small table which covers only 50 % of the page width. The other 50 % is reserved for the empty cells.

Off course, I know that deleting the empty cells offers a solutions, but it would be a lot more handier if there were no empty cells in the first place.

Anybody with a solution?

I had a similar problem with one report where one table's data was pushing the rows down and creating white space to the right and then displaying a second table's data. What I did is to put the tables into rectangles and this solved the problem. I don't know if this will help you or now, but I hope it might.|||

Hi guyinkalamazoo3,

Thx for the suggestion. Tried that but didn't work either.

Now, I see that I can't really reproduce the error. I thought that if I could scroll with the scrollbar into a lot of blank space (caused by the wide table on the next page) that this was also exported to excell. Now apparently, this is not the problem as with the testreports I created, no blank cells were imported in excell.

Any other solutions?

P.S. Can I give page-setup parameters when I want to export to excell? For instance, I would like to have the 'landscape' and 'fit to page' option to be selected ?
