Adjust the Report Layout

The Report Wizard produces an attractive price list, but you might want to move and realign information to reduce the space between items in your list. The wizard automatically displays the report it creates in Print Preview. To change the layout of your price list, click Report Design View (View menu) in the open report. You can adjust the layout of a report by resizing a control (such as a text box or a label) or by moving it to another position on the report. Each field you select in the wizard is represented by a control on the report.

  If you don’t need a control included by the Report Wizard, click the control, and then press DELETE.
