Section Type: Report section

Tip Name: Multi-Line Column Reports (using field objects)

Purpose / Use: To display fields on multiple lines per record in a column-oriented

report, when using multiple table objects will not produce the desired

effect.

In this example, the user wants the Street Address field to wrap to 2

lines. All other “second line” fields should appear on the same line as the

second line of the Street Address. Because this is the only multi-line field,

and because it appears in the middle of the list of fields, multiple table

objects won’t create the desired effect.

Sample File: Multi-line wrapping columns.bqy

Steps to Produce: Delete the default table object and drag individual field objects into the

report body, formatting them as needed.

1) Create report groupings so that the body area will hold only one record per group.

2) Turn off the group headers for all groups except the top-level group. To do this, right-

click on each sub-group in the group area of the Outliner and select “Header” to turn it

off.

3) Select the blank default table object and delete it.

4) Drag the desired fields directly into the body area of the report (instead of into the

Outliner). This will create a free-form report design.

5) Format and align the fields as desired.

6) To set any field to automatically word-wrap, right-click on the field and select

“Properties”. Select the “Alignment” tab in the dialog box that appears. Set Horizontal

alignment to Left, Vertical alignment to Top, and turn on the Wrap text checkbox.
