Positioning Charts on Reports

You can specify a chart’s position on the report and how it is displayed when printed. You can specify a position relative to the grid, a position relative to other report objects, or no position at all. If you do not specify a position, the chart remains in the location where it was originally created on the report.

  To position a chart on a report:

  1. Open a report and select a chart.

  2. On the Chart Properties property sheet, modify the horizontal and vertical positions for the object using Position Object on Report:

    1. From the Horizontal drop-down list, select one of the following horizontal positions:

      • Select None to anchor this chart at its current position in the report. The chart is printed in this position.

      • Select Relative for the chart to maintain a distance relative to other report objects located to the left of it. This option assures that the chart is not printed on top of another report object.

      • Select Left to position the chart against the left margin of the report.

      • Select Center to position the chart in the center of the report.

      • Select Right to position the chart against the right margin of the report.

    2. In the Vertical drop-down list, select one of the following vertical positions:

      • Select None to anchor this chart at its current position in the report. The chart is printed in this position.

      • Select Relative for the chart to maintain a distance relative to other report objects located above it. This option assures that the chart is not printed on top of another report object.

      • Select Top to position the chart at the top of the report.

      • Select Middle to position the chart in the middle of the report.

      • Select Bottom to position the chart at the bottom of the report.
