Be careful what items you are lassoing. If you click on regions or other specific areas sometimes you will include the actual region or area. If your lassoing touches a region boundary, the region boundaries will be included whatever you align. Simply put the cursor on an item, then SHIFT-Click to turn on/off the red squares for whatever item you are working on. I'll often use SHIFT-Click to line up unrelated items in a horizontal line or long groups of check boxes in a vertical column. It just takes practice. Use the Align/Space toolbar. It works great across any number of regions.

Right align is what I'm looking for, possibly on decimal also, but for the whole "column" across report bands. I lassoed the parts and selected alignment icons, but it moves the selection all the way over to the right side of the report while I need it to stay where it is, but cause all the parts to align. I am also wondering if there is an 'undo' option (besides exiting without saving) for when I change something and I need to put it back, Ctrl-Z would be nice. It probably exists, right in front of me, but I don't know where. Thanks you for your time. Hans Using the latest R:Base 64bit release.
