We have several new reports that have to be added to our system. The first has 65 items. They all consist of a sentence with 10-20 words and 1-5 scale. Creating the table and form to hold the data is pretty straight forward. Creating the report for the form is also relatively easy, it is simply retyping the form.

I make the screen forms look like the sample required report to keep the users familiar with the setup. Is there some way to convert the form to a report format that I can simply re-edit. Cut/paste individual text items does work but after going through all the steps, it is often faster to simply retype. Taking large form sections, dropping them into the report, then adjusting data and variables would be a huge step/time saver. Lassoing does not work. I understand that the form and report editors are not the same so this may not work. Just one of those ideas that pop up after a long, repetitive, keyboard session.
