Formatting in MRS:

I can't seem to get my formatting to work correctly. I have a very simple
report, yet, when I try to print it, it doesn't break properly. It seems to
print all on one page and I do have a break after my group.
It worked at one point, now, something has changed that makes it not work.
I'm using a letter size piece of paper and I thought that should give me 8.5
inches across the top of the page. When I use the full 8.5 inches, the
report appears too "Wide" in the viewer. When I use less inches, say, 7.5",
it appears too narrow and without page breaks.
Is there something I need to read to better understand what's going on with
the formatting?Where are printing from the browser? If so, you should export to PDF or
TIFF and print from there, those are considered print-ready formats while
HTML is not. SP2 is coming soon and it includes a nifty print utility.
