To change the size of your forms

If you need to print multiple copies of a form on a single sheet of paper, you can adjust the size of your forms so that they will fit in the allotted space. (Please note that this is not the same as changing the paper size for the form. If you need to do that, see To change the paper size for your forms.)

Keep in mind that any changes you make here will affect all the instances of the form that appear on each page.

Warning:  Changing the size or margins of a form may affect the way the form prints

1. In the appropriate command center, click the Print option you want to use; the Forms Selection window opens.



2. If you're modifying checks or mailing labels, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, select the type of form you want to modify; for example, select Item from the Form Layout list or Activity from the Statement Type list. The selection list appears in the top third of the window.

3. Select the layout of the form you want to change from the Selected Form list in the bottom third of the window, then click the Customize button to open the Customize window.



4. Click the Form Properties button in the toolbar to open the Forms Information window.



5. In the Layout tab of this window, verify that the Number of (Forms) Per Page field indicates the number of forms you want to appear on each page. If it doesn't, enter the correct number.



6. To modify the size of the form, change the entries in the Form Size fields and click OK.

Warning:  Fields not entirely within the printable area of a form layout will not print

7. In the Customize window, click the Save Form As button. The Save As window appears; enter a name and a brief description for the new layout and click OK. (If you selected a custom form in step 3, click Save Form to save your changes without creating a new form layout.)
