The way I have always did this is to use a memo field (or maybe three in your case) on the table and build my lists of multiple items for what I want to show in each record prior to the report, then in the report, I simply put in objects referencing the memo objects which contain everything I need for each record based on coding prior to the report. Then for formatting you would just set the font, etc. on the one/three object(s) referencing the memo fields of the cursor. Just an alternative solution, I always prefer to do the pre-work before the report, plus if in the future I want to change something in the report to add something, or modify, I can modify the code adding to the memo fields and not have to worry about changing the report itself.
