Question Boy

Hello,

I want to create, for instance, a No10 Envelope (10"x4.125"). Where I am
having problems is with the fact that even when I set my margins to 0" the
report always set a default value. I want/need to have my report at the
10x4.125" from there I can place my control properly. Is there a way to set
the margins to 0"

Also, when I select a paper type to Env No10 it set the page rotated, how
can I rotate my text to be in the same direction? Or is there a way to make
the Env/Rpt Horizontal but print vertical?

Is there a tutorial on creating envelopes by any chances?

Just subtract the top and left margins from your positioning measurements.

Set Page to Landscape to turn print around.
 
Are the margins not based on the printer, and thus, once setup for my printer
margins, then it will not print properly when deployed elsewhere?! is there
no way to work like in word, where you define the page size, regarless of the
printer/page setup and then create the report?

Your margins are honored on all printers capable of doing so. If you define
your margins so that they are beyond the maximum or minimum limits of a
particular printer then *that printer* will make a mess of it.
