Jane,

If you double click the Detail bar you can set the size of the band, I think VFP usually defaults to 6 lpi.

As far as field sizing goes you are kind of stuck, especially if you switch to proportional fonts and getting them sized right is mostly trial and error. You could write a .prg to process the .frx as a table and adjust fields it's not too hard.

If your table has enough fields to not fit across the page you are better off telling the wizard to vertically layout the detail band and resize/move things yourself.

>I'm writing my first report & it seems to be rather time consuming. I started with the report wizard & then modified it. Is there such a thing as size to fit? Report wizard seems to allot extra spaces. When I adjused it, it was just a guess as to size.

>I'm used to DOS where there were 6 lines per inch. What the wizard gives is fewer lines per inch. Is there a way to have it print 6 lines per inch? Is it possible to align the column heading with the detail - horizontally center the heading over the column? I did use align to align the column headings with each other and to align the bottom edges.
