Greetings, I have been searching for a thread to address but have not thus far been successful.

I wish to create a report that when printed will be cut in half (8.5" X 4.5" or 4.25" X 8") to create 2 pages to be bound in a workbook.

The report design calls for the first strings of text to write across the entire half-page and then many records to be printed in a 2-column format. Another way of saying this is page wide headers with 2-columm detail. Do note that the header is not just labels however. It would be a Grouped Header section.

I remain hopeful that there is a solution. Any advice or pointers to a resource would be greatly appreciated.


Regards, Sorrells
 
Hi Sorrells,
i'm trying to figure out which way round your paper is - portrait or landscape and what size paper you wish to use.
 
Trendsetter,

At this point I am looking at creating (2) 8.5"x5.5" areas per 8.5"x11" page. Thus the physical paper would be printed in portrait orientation.

The top would have a few headers and a small table centered over top of the page then there would be a 2-column list of text relating to the topic below the headers.

I'd leave room for binding from either the top or the left side.



Regards, Sorrells
