Decades of books and magazine articles were written on report and label tricks. (Bow towards the west and the all-knowing Ms. LSN! And south and the skilled Ms. Pountney.) - Use the layout tools and label/report properties, set the grid to pixels, snap to grid on/off depending on whether it's helping or not. - Load and save a printer environment if you and your users are on the same network with the same printers (rare these days) - Lower the screen resolution to zoom a small work area (1024x768 or even 800x600). - Move elements with the cursor arrow keys (and Ctrl+ modifier keys) - Group elements together to move without losing spacing between them (Click and Ctrl-click to group) - Create a layout element like a line you want all elements to line up with and then drag items to it, snap-to-grid, then delete line. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/cacw6n4s7omi9af4juuuhfby6gtw1ur_oatvgwlbyjkggjz7...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
