Changing Mailing Label Size in Crystal Reports
It's easy to create mailing labels using the Mailing Label Wizard in Crystal Reports. (8.5+, at least).
But when you realize that you needed 1 inch instead of 2, how do you fix it without starting all over?
It's simple enough, but certainly not intuitive. Open the Page Setup and enter the margins for your label sheet. Then, go to the Section Expert for the Detail section and choose the Layout Tab. Here you can change x, y, x-margin, y-margin, and the Across/Down order. Verify that the number of rows and columns are correct. You may need to delete extra whitespace around the detail section to get everything to add up.
And that's it! : )

Tnx to this post..

To the guest who posted that you aren't getting a Layout Tab, in the Section Expert make sure you are sitting on the line that says DETAILS (not Details a, etc). The Layout Tab doesn't appear unless you are sitting on the upper most DETAILS line. It then appears over on the right side of the screen (next to the Common Tab).

I use Crystal Reports 11, so this post may only applies to that version :)

Short and to the point. Love it! Saved me heaps of time stumbling around this product. Thanks also to the guest who pointed out that you need to select Details, not Details a, b, c, etc.
 > Guest 1/16/2013 11:07:59 AM
Hi this still isn't working for me, I am sitting on Details only line and only seeing Common and Paging tabs ?
