When you say 3 pages do you mean horizontally?
If so then unless you make the columns narrow you can't control it.
You might be able to use 3 cross tabs in groups.

It depends on the columns ut if you can group the data so the columns that appear on each page are in theor own groups you could group on the field and put the cross tabh in the group header.
For example if your column is the days in a month you could use a formula like
Day({DateField}) \ 11
Group on the formula
1-10 will be in group 0
11-21 will be in group 1
22-31 will be in group 3

If you have too many columns to fit on a page, the basic options are:
1) Make the columns narrower (using a smaller font, if necessary), as vetaldj mentioned.
2) Use multiple cross-tabs with fewer columns in each one, as mlmcc suggested (interesting idea, BTW). Of course one thing that you will (I think) lose if you do that is grand totals. Each cross-tab will only have the totals for that cross-tab.
3) Use fewer columns (eg. if you have total or sub-total columns that you don't really need, you could suppress those columns).
4) Use a wider page (eg. change from portrait orientation to landscape, or use larger paper), but you probably don't want to do that or you would have done it already.
FWIW, there is another option. It's a pain, but I've used it once or twice in an extreme case, for a really big cross-tab. There is software that creates a "virtual" printer that actually sends the output to a PDF file, instead of printing it. There are a number of different ones out there. I happen to use CutePDF Writer, but there are others. CutePDF Writer will let you specify a custom paper size (I imagine that the other programs would too). I used that to create a really large page size (something like 20 inches by 14) that was big enough to hold the entire cross-tab width using the regular font size and column widths. Then I "printed" the report to a PDF file and when I opened the file in Adobe Reader, I could have it shrink the page to fit the real paper size I was using (eg. 8.5 x 14). Like I said, it's a pain, and it's only something I've done a couple of times, but it did work. If it was something you were going to be doing regularly, or something that "regular" users needed to be able to do, that might not be much of a solution.

Depends from amount of data you have... Usually what you can do is to reduce columns size or font... Can you provide some examples of your report?
