Hi,

I really hope someone may have an idea of how to do this as I have been googling most of the day to no avail!!!

I thought I was a seasoned user of CR and all its little eccentricities but I cannot work out how to do this one!

I have a set sized report (in this case it prints onto A5). It has to be this size (I limit the input size of fields from within my app code).

All I want to do is take text from the database and display it on the report in two columns (like a newspaper). When the first column is filled, the text continues at the top of the second column. Similar to 'autoflow' in MS Publisher, etc.

Please, if you can solve this I would be really grateful.

Thanks,

Jon.

Brian,

I appreciate the prompt reply.

I am just having a look at that now.

One thing I have noticed immediately is that I am trying to do this in an existing report.

If I create a new label report it offers me the option for multiple columns. But not in the current report - if I go to section expert, the 'layout' tab is absent, which is possibly why I haven't been able to find this functionality.

I will continue to hunt with this in mind.

Thanks again.

Jon.

Yeah, it's a 'whole report' option. And you have to configure it for new reports. What about using a subreport to display the newspaper column effect (using labels)?
