Adding grouping to multi column report

[schusser]

I am trying to add grouping to a multi column that was developed in CR8.5. I am using CR10. When I open the report in CR10, the option to "Format Groups with Multiple column' is not there. I have made other changes to this report already.

Any help would be appreciated, since I don't want to have to start over with this report.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Schusser,

Are you sure the option isn't there? I just double checked CR 10 and the option does exist. You have to be in the details section of the Section Expert as that is the only place the option exists. Double check ...

Were you opening a report that was created in CR8.5?

If I open a new report or if I open a report that was created in CR10, it is there, but the report I'm trying to add grouping to was created in CR8.5.

Thanks

Dear Schusser,

I just created a report in 8.5 saved one version with format with multiple columns and chose format group multiple columns and another one formatted with multiple columns without the format group colums checked.

In both instances the option appears and is selectable in the Layout Tab.

I don't know what to tell you as I am not seeing the issue.

Hi,
also be aware that this is an option ( as Rosemary points out) on the Section Expert for the Detail section and then, it is only in the 'Layout' tab that appears after selecting the 'Format in Multiple Columns' option..
