Resize Report Elements

You can resize the element's frame, which defines the area the element occupies. This will not resize the text of the element. You cannot resize an element so that occupies any space outside it's original band.

  1. Select the element.

  1. Hold the select mouse button down over one of the six small squares around the element. A small arrow appears when you move the mouse pointer over one of the squares to indicate in which direction you can resize the element.
  2. Still holding down the button, move the mouse in the direction that you wish to resixe the element. An outline of the element will expand and shrink as you move the mouse pointer to show what the element's new size will be.
  3. When the element is the required size, release the select mouse button. The element will be resized accordingly.
