I don't know about most improved, but I have ahd to build many reports like this, and the way I have handled it is:

Create a frx with one field in the detail band, and set that field to stretch, and set its font to a non-proportinal font (Courier New etc). Make the expression some variable (lcReportVar)

In you program code, build your report into a string and assign it to lcReportVar and then call the report.
