Product(s): Microsoft FoxPro
Version(s): MACINTOSH:2.5x,3.0b
Operating System(s):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5x 
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The paper and page layout settings for a report created in FoxPro for Windows or
FoxPro for MS-DOS will not transport to FoxPro for Macintosh.

CAUSE
=====

Settings such as orientation, paper size, and paper tray are a function of the
printer driver currently being used. Because the printer driver mechanism varies
between platforms, printer-specific settings will not be transported.

RESOLUTION
==========

Once the report has been transported to FoxPro for Macintosh, choose Page Layout
from the Report menu to set the paper size and orientation. The report objects
should then be correctly positioned in page preview.
