1. What is the View Header used for, and how does it differ from the other headers?

2. Is there a way to include HTML coding that will define the report's margins (overriding the user's browser settings)?

3. Is there a way to quickly select a group of report items (like "banding" does on a form)?  Or a "select all" method?

4. Why do the Spacers I try to drop between report items never fall where I want them?  Is there a trick to this?

Not sure I follow that, can you point me towards a documentation page that will help me understand?

Changing all the elements width settings, which they've inherited from Q&A.  Alignment, font style and size, and so on.  Often when I shift-click I wind up moving elements without knowing it until I run the report and the results stare back at me with a cockeyed grin.

Table based.  (I haven't made any Freeform reports yet.)  I build reports without concern for the spacing between columns until after I get the results I want.  Then I pretty it up with spacers.  I drop a bunch of them into an unused header or something and then drag-drop them between my columns.  Or I try to, at least, but they usually wind up landing before or after where I want them to go.  (It's not just spacers, but any element I drag-drop into an existing lineup.)  I'm sure it's something I'll learn by habit over time, but right now it's frustrating me because I can never figure out where to hover before dropping them.

BTW, as Erika pointed out to me, in 2.0 you can do a select all (and much else) using the advanced element selection panel in the report designer. Set the action to "New Selection", the Select By to "Element Name" and the Name to ".." (or whatever search spec you like) and press Perform Selected Action.

Captain,

You can also move a report item up and down the column by first selecting it with the mouse, and then holding down "Ctrl" while using the up or down arrow keys.
