Changing Field Alignment

Follow these steps to specify field alignment:

  1. Select the fields for which you want to change the alignment or select the band line or lines that contain the fields.
  2. Choose Properties Alignment. The Alignment dialog box appears:
  3. The available alignment options depend on the field’s data type.
  4. Choose a field alignment.
  5. Choose OK to apply the new alignment and return to the report layout.

Report Builder justifies the fields on the selected lines within the margins of your report. If any line you justify contains only a single field or a series of fields merged left, Report Builder also sets the format of that field or series of fields to the specified alignment, so that the data appropriately aligns within the field width. See the "Merge Left and Field Alignment" section for more information about how these two features interact.

If more than one record is being printed horizontally across the page, the record width, not the right margin, controls the justification of record lines. See "Printing," for information about printing multiple records across the page.
