Change Print Defaults

I have noticed that all the reports I create in VS 2000 for RS 2000 all have the default print set to potrait with 1" margins. I was wondering if there was a way to make the default different for different reports. Some I only want a .5" and some and I want to print landscape and still other I need both. Does anyone know how to go about this? Thanks

You can set the print settings for every report individually. In VS 2003 got to the Report Menu and choose Report Properties. Go to the layout tab and adjust the width, height and margins as per your printing requirements. Note there is no specific Portrait/Landscape option here, you control it using width and the height.

One technique that I use when I start a new project is I set up 2 blank report templates (portrait and landscape) with the necessary branding, logo and print settings already set up. Then when I create a new report I just copy paste the relevant template.

The layout settigns are also applied when exporting to PDF.
