When I try to print a report, I keep getting a message the
the section width is greater than the page with. I have
checked the reports design, and can't find a section with
a witdth of greater than 8" or an overall page length of
13" (the report is printed on legal size paper). Any
suggestions?

It's telling you that the report width PLUS the width of the margins
is greater than the width of the paper.

So, if you are using 8-1/2" wide paper, and the report is 8" wide, the
maximum width of the margins must be less than a combined total of
1/2". Since most printers do have a minimum no print area of about
0.5" to 0.25" (left - right) your best bet is to decrease the width
of the report to 7-1/2" and try that, increasing the width if needed,
a bit larger each try, until it's as large as it can be without the
warning coming back.
