Do you always turn the grid off because it annoys you? Or always use the guidelines? You can customize your layout area so that it defaults to your favorite settings.
When I start Crystal, I always need to make the Preview area show in a bigger screen. Is there a global setting for this? Choose File > Options, Layout tab, Preview area, and click a radio button to have the page start with full size (100%), shrink your report to the width of the margins, or shrink/expand your report to the size of the page.
For the current report only, choose File > Report Options, Preview Pages Start With area, and choose a size option from the drop-down list.
