Further to the above, is there an issue with the width feature in reports in general ?

I have tried to set width's of layout elements in various reports and seem to have problems consistently i.e. it doesn't work (although sometimes it does).

My understanding is 100 pixels = 1 inch.  Therefore if I set the group header, body and footers in the column to 200, I would expect the column on the report to appear as two inches wide.

Does the browser (internet Explorer) just ignore these settings ?

Thanks,

Louis

I have seen what you are talking about and it is fixed in version 2.0

Don't know how deep you want to get into adding HTML code to your reports, but here is some info about spacing with HTML, it may help...

----------------------------------------
BLOCK
Example code:
<SPACER TYPE="block" WIDTH="50" HEIGHT="40" ALIGN="left">Spacer tags can be used for: spacing between lines or text and can be used for text indention. The block attribute is the same as creating an invisible image. Spacers have no closing tag.

# HORIZONTAL
Example code:
<SPACER TYPE="horizontal" SIZE="70">Spacer Tags can be used for spacing between lines or text and can be used for text indention.<SPACER TYPE="horizontal" SIZE="25">The block attribute is the same as creating an invisible image. Spacers have no closing tag.

# VERTICAL
Example code:
Spacer Tags can be used for: <SPACER TYPE="vertical" SIZE="25"> spacing between lines or text and can be used for text indention.<SPACER TYPE="vertical" SIZE="15">The block attribute is the same as creating an invisible image. Spacers have no closing tag.

---------------------
You can also use tables to help align content.   
And you can also use <P ALIGN="RIGHT"> type of tags.
And also Text-ALIGN properties.
----------------------
And check out White Space Property.

'white-space'
    Value:        normal | pre | nowrap | pre-wrap | pre-line | inherit
    Initial:        normal
    Applies to:        all elements
    Inherited:        yes
    Percentages:        N/A
    Media:        visual
    Computed value:        as specified

This property declares how whitespace inside the element is handled.   Values have the following meanings:
normal
    This value directs user agents to collapse sequences of whitespace, and break lines as necessary to fill line boxes.

pre
    This value prevents user agents from collapsing sequences of whitespace. Lines are only broken at newlines in the source, or at occurrences of "\A" in generated content.

nowrap
    This value collapses whitespace as for 'normal', but suppresses line breaks within text.

pre-wrap
    This value prevents user agents from collapsing sequences of whitespace. Lines are broken at newlines in the source, at occurrences of "\A" in generated content, and as necessary to fill line boxes.

pre-line
    This value directs user agents to collapse sequences of whitespace. Lines are broken at newlines in the source, at occurrences of "\A" in generated content, and as necessary to fill line boxes.

------------------
Don't want to get into a discussion about HTML syntax here, just dropping some things on the table for you to consider.  Using HTML is a really powerful tool that can be used in your reports.
