+1 for what Tracy says and for larger font size.... use the Magnifier built into Windows 7 under the Accessories folder off the menu. That way you can zoom the screen in as much as you like.

The rectangles print where and when they are supposed to but they overwrite the data underneath. I thought setting the backstyle of the rectangle to transparent would solve the problem but no luck. What am I missing? My report detail line is too busy. It has 24 fields, 24 separator lines, and now a rectangle over the entire width. It has been a real challenge to select the individual elements as I tweak the exact placement. Since the rectangle is on top things will be even worse! Is there a way to have the screen zoom so it is easier to select individual elements? Something else?
