Changing the Ruler Spacing

The ruler spacing setting controls the number of ruler increments per inch on each ruler and determines the spacing of the layout grid. There are two ways to change the ruler spacing:

Specify the Ruler Spacing for Individual Reports

Follow these steps to change ruler and grid spacing:

  1. Choose Properties Rulers or double-click either ruler. The Ruler dialog box appears:
  2. Specify the spacing in inches for each ruler.
  3. Choose OK.
Specifying the Default Ruler Spacing for All Reports

You can specify the default ruler spacing for both the horizontal and vertical rulers. Because the fonts actually applied to fields in the report control the print spacing, the ruler spacing settings control only the spacing of the report layout rulers.

Follow these steps to change the Report Builder default ruler spacing:

  1. Choose Options Default Settings. The Default Settings dialog box appears:
  2. Enter a ruler spacing in the Horizontal and Vertical fill-in fields. The default setting for both the rulers is 10. You can select a setting from 4 through 30.
  3. Choose OK to return to the report layout.
