Report formatting problems

I am trying to format a report to list all record grouped together like the following:

Group Name:      Date Entered:
Contact Name:   Address:

Group Name:      Date Entered:
Contact Name:   Address:


What I am getting is everything on one line
Group Name:  Date Entered: Contact Name: Address:
Group Name:  Date Entered: Contact Name: Address:

My report is laid out with everthing in the Group body. Static text followed by Value bound to the field. Then a line break where I want the next line to begin. It seems to me that my line breaks and spacing are not working at all.

Hello,

You need to change your report type from Columnar(Table) to Freeform.

To do this Open your report in Sdesigner
Click where it says View Header
In the Report Section Properties box change the View Type from Table to Freeform.
Click Ok
Click Save Layout Design.

I am having the same problem as jchaney.  I followed your directions, and it still has them on the same line.

Thank you,
Christy

Hello Christy,

What elements do you have in your group body?
Do you have a width set on any of the elements in the group body, header or footer,?
