How to create a multi column text report using CR9?

[krishna]

Hi

I would like to format a database field (string) to print in 2 columns like this

aaaaaaaaaaa 1 aaaaaaaaa n+1
aaaaaaaaaaa 2 aaaaaaaaa n+2
aaaaaaaaaaa 3 aaaaaaaaa n+3
aaaaaaaaaaa 4 aaaaaaaaa n+4
. .
. .
. .
aaaaaaaaaa n aaaaaaaaa m

where 1,2,3,4,n,m represents the row no. I would like the database field to print down and then across the page in 2 columns. Is it possible?

Regards
Krishna Kumar

Right click the detail section, Format Section, Format with Multiple Columns, and use the Layout Tab...

Dear Ido

Thanks for the reply.I placed the database field in the detail section and formatted it with multi columns. But the text is not printed at the second column. Instead it is printing at the first column of the second page. After some tinkering I found that it was due to the width I specified. I reduced the width and it began to print at the second column in the first page.
