Hey Go to File > Page setup and select the paper( A4 or somethig) and select the page layout. (Portrait or Landscape.) After that when you come to your designer mode and you still see extra space you should increas the width of your fields use that extra space. Coz you cannot reduce the paper size as you wish. You can only set standard papaer sizes. Please mark this as accepted if you find this useful.

Hey friend I know exactly what you want. I have experienced the same problem. If you decrease the field sizes then definetely the space allocated by the report will be reduced. But when you print the report you will have to provide an A4 paper (or the paper type you have provided.) So you can't save paper. So what you have to do here is buying another printer. :) In those places where you get small bills they have different printers which supports small paper sizes. Let's say you bought such a printer and connected it to your machine. Then when you go to File > Page setup in your crstal report designer you will see paper sizes supported by that printer. Then you can select a small paper size. Adjust your fields in the report as you want. Then you can save papers. Hope you can understand what I say.
