Formatting With Multiple Columns

Hello,

Is it possible to view the contents of a report in 2 columns?

for

example, if i had a report contained a table with 1 column, could I,

rather than epanding that table column down, use some of the room to

the right of the table to "repeat" the columns in the table to show

more of the data?

In crystal reports you could achieve this effect by using the "format with multiple columns" option.

If you need a better explanation please let me know.

Thanks in advance.All I want to know is confirmation that this can't be done.

thanks

Formatting text within cell

I have multiple words within a single tablecell and need to be able to make one of them bold, not the entired contents of the tablecell, just one word within it. I can't find a way to do it.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.
As far as I am aware you can't differentially format text in a cell. Andrew Watt MVP - InfoPath wrote in message news:5fe80da2-bdd1-4e54-987d-31f576f8913c@.discussions.microsoft.com... >I have multiple words within a single tablecell and need to be able to

Format Masking for creating leading periods

Is there an elegant way to fill the empty space leading a textbox in a table with periods, similar to a table of contents effect?

When I do not allow the textbox to grow and just append a long string of periods it looks fine in my report preview, but after I deploy everything appended after the primary field in that text box is missing?

My report has a lot of data to the right but it is collapsible so the fields to the left are a good distance away. This is why I am trying to include light visual aids that assist lining up data values. I am not stuck on the leading period idea but it seems the least cluttered.

Does anyone have any solutions for masking fields?|||

Hello Aaron,

Can you try something like this in your field's expression:

=StrDup(25 - len(Fields!FIELD1.Value), ".") & Fields!FIELD1.Value

The 25 in my example would have to be higher than the maximum number of characters in your FIELD1 field. This will fill the rest of space (up to 25 characters) on the left of the field with period's, it should be adjusted to fill the rest of your textbox.

Hope this helps.
