OK I see what you're saying now -- sorry I missed the point before. The group/ungroup thing is very problemmatic but all the other stuff would be nice enhancements for the Report Builder at some point, I suppose. Some of them are harder than others, of course.

My only wish in that area is to be able to set the font etc (whatever the properties they have in common may be) for a whole group of objects without going for the menu... pretty much like we do in the PEM window. That would be a real time saver.

Well, Fonts I think you can do natively. There is a Font Properties button on the Report Designer toolbar (this one *is* new in 9, and I believe it's in the public beta). You should be able to use it for multiple-selected items.

Once again, the rest of possible multi-select "apply properties in common" might be enhancements to the multi-select dialog in the Builder at some point.
