SUMMARY
=======
 
When you create a report in the Database module of Microsoft Works,
the right margin marker may sometimes be off the viewable area of
the screen. This occurs when the page margins and paper size are set
so that the ruler that is displayed extends past the right side of
the window display.
 
Normally, there is a scroll bar on the bottom of the view window, and you
can use the scroll bar to access the right margin marker. However, the
scroll bar will only scroll over as far as the rightmost field in a
database. This means that sometimes you do not have access to the right
margin marker, and cannot manually change the placement of the right
indent.
 
WORKAROUNDS
===========
 
To work around this problem, use one of the following workarounds:
 
1. Determine where you want the right margin to be on the report. You
   can do this by looking at the ruler at the top of the screen. If
   you want all the fields to print, the proper right margin would
   be after the last field.
 
2. Under the File menu, choose Page Setup. Change your page size and
   print margins to fit where you wanted your right margin to be.
 
These steps above will place the right margin marker to wherever you
have set your right margin. You can then place the right margin marker
wherever you need it.
 
   -or-
 
1. Extend the field width of the rightmost field so that the field
   width goes past the right indent.
 
2. Move the right margin marker to the desired position.
 
3. Reduce the field width of the rightmost field to its former
   position.
