Resizing Report Objects

You can resize report objects so that they are displayed fully expanded or at a specified height and width when you preview or print a report. When you resize report objects, the content remains the same size, but the space around the contents changes. For example, you can drag a grid border to reserve an amount of space to the left of the grid. When you view the grid, the area to the left of the grid remains blank.

In addition to resizing report objects, you can design reports to automatically increase the size of text objects and grids as more area is needed to include all resulting data.

To resize a report object:

1. Click the name of the report that contains the object to return to the report "layout view".

2. Click the object.

   The object’s border is highlighted in red to indicate that the object is selected.

3. Click on the border of the object and drag it to change the size.

To automatically resize text objects and grids:

1. Select the text object or grid in the section where it is inserted.

   You can insert text objects in the Header, Body, or Footer sections. You can insert grids only in the Body of a report.

2. In Text Properties or Grid Properties, select Autosize.
