Good afternoon experts.
Having been certified in another reporting tool, I'm feeling a little disappointed in what CR 10 does when formatting objects on a detail line.

Basically, the widths of all the objects narrow when there isn't enough room on the page in portrait.

I change the print settings to landscape and the objects remain the same size. Please tell that I DON'T HAVE TO REFORMAT ALL THE OBJECT WIDTHS BY HAND.

I RTM'd but could not find any info. Will be happy for any assistance I recieve (Guess it's finally my turn to ask for help.)

Thanks

Angiole,

This is not a hard task - highlight all the objects on the line by holding the shift key down and multiple select - then grab the handle of the last field selected and stretch it out - all the other fields will follow the one you are changing.

Cheers,

Yes, Thanks.

Of course, now all the object s are overrighting each other. V 8.5 had a clunky feature that basically reformatted the entire report line. It doesn't appear to be part of v 10.

Any ideas?
