Now, I need to make some changes and find that some simple issues
are alluding me.
The first thing I am coming up against is designing some new reports:
-is there a way to 'nudge' a field into position?
-is there a way to turn 'snap to grid' off?
-if I want a horizontal line instead of a vertical one, how do
I rotate it?
Lin,
Here's how ...
01. While in Report Designer ...
Main Menu > View > Toolbars > check on the option for "Nudge"
This will place the "Nudge" palette on your report designer.
Now you may select the object on the report designer band and
then use the Nudge Up,
Nudge Down, Nudge Left or Nudge Right buttons acordingly.
Alternatively ...
Once the object is selected, you may use [Ctrl + Right Arrow],
[Ctrl + Left Arrow],
[Ctrl + Up Arrow], or [Ctrl + Down Arrow] keys to accomplish the
same task.
02. To turn the "Snap to Grid" off ...
Main Menu > View > Grid Options ...
Uncheck the option for [ ] Snap to Grid
03. To place a Horizontal Line ...
Place the "Line" control on the report band and then use the
Line Types as "Top".
That will turn the default "Left" line into the "Top" line.
Once corrected, you will need to adjust the height of the
control as you see fit.
That's all there is to it!
Feel free to reach out on this list if you have further questions.
It is good to see you back.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
