    How do you set a browser form to print without truncation?

    Note: I have Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) installed. 

    From what I know, when you print any Infopath 2007 in a Portrait orientation, the form becomes truncated.  However, when you print in a Landscape orientation, the form is no longer truncated.  I have set View Properties > Print Settings > Orientation to Landscape however, when I  print the browser form, it reverts back to the Portrait default orientation, which truncates the form.

    I was wondering if there was a way for you to set the browser form to print without truncation without having the user edit the Page Setup within Internet Explorer and manually change the orientation to Landscape.

    Thanks in advance.

    Can you add a print view for your form that presents the data in a layout more suitable for portrait orientation? That is -- the truncation you are seeing has to do with the way the form is layed out, not InfoPath itself. A print view may solve this nicely for you.

    Thank you for the advice.  I was hoping for a different solution because when a designer goes to modify the form, they will have to do about 2x as much design work (since they must alter both the default and print views).

    Are you using IE6 still? Install IE7 and it should shrink to fit.

    Indeed.  I am using IE6.  Thank you for the information about IE7, I will add that to my documentation.
