Formatting the Report Layout
You format the layout for a form letter just like you format the layout for any other report. You insert blank lines of the appropriate types in the report layout; then you fill in the lines with text and fields.
For example, Figure 14–11 shows the report layout that produced the letter in Figure 14–10.

Follow these steps to create a report layout:
- Create the report layout for all the database fields.
- Insert the memo fields in appropriate places in the report. Each memo field appears on the screen as a single line of m’s. The default format of the memo field is left-justified word-wrap with a width of 60 characters.
- After you insert a memo field, choose Properties
Format. The Format dialog box appears.
- Set the field width to fit your report.
The image above shows the report layout to use with the

memo file.
