Formatting report parameters?

Hi,
I have 5 report parameters to show in a report. I want to properly align the
controls(list boxes, text boxes) of parameters. How do we format the report
parameters in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services using Report Designer tool?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,

As far as I know, the best control you can get over this is to order
them differently in the Report Parameters' list (via Layout view >>
Report drop-down list >> Report Parameters...) by selecting the up/
down arrows on the left. Unfortunately, there is not much more in the
way of layout customization available. Hope this helps.

Formatting in MRS:

I can't seem to get my formatting to work correctly. I have a very simple
report, yet, when I try to print it, it doesn't break properly. It seems to
print all on one page and I do have a break after my group.
It worked at one point, now, something has changed that makes it not work.
I'm using a letter size piece of paper and I thought that should give me 8.5
inches across the top of the page. When I use the full 8.5 inches, the
report appears too "Wide" in the viewer. When I use less inches, say, 7.5",
it appears too narrow and without page breaks.
Is there something I need to read to better understand what's going on with
the formatting?Where are printing from the browser? If so, you should export to PDF or
TIFF and print from there, those are considered print-ready formats while
HTML is not. SP2 is coming soon and it includes a nifty print utility.
