I created the report in the wizard mode, and then went
into the design mode to make it look like what I wanted it
to. However, I cannot get the width of the page to shrink
back down. For some reason it's like at 21 inches, and I
want to get it down to 8 1/2".. yet, the page won't move.
I was thinking that there was probably something on there
that wasn't moved over, yet, I can't find anything. Is
there a size somewhere that I have to adjust?
 
One possibilityis that the report wizard often puts line separators into
reports and they can be hard to see when they happen to be resting at the
upper or lower limit of a report section.

To find these and resize or delete them, open your report in design view.
The Report Format menu should be at the top of the design window; if it is
not, right-click on any empty part of a report design toolbar and select
Report Format. The Report Format menu/toolbar has a combo box containing a
list of all of the objects in your report. Open that combo box and look for
controls named Line1, Line2, etc. You can select one of these by clicking
on it in the combo box and you should then be able to see it highlighted in
its report section. You can resize the line using its Property Sheet or by
dragging it, or you can delete it by pressing the computer's delete key.
