Formatting and Centering a Report

[angelesta]

Is there a way to center information on a report? I believe it can only be aligned to the left?

I'm creating a simple report with an image and some information underneath and would like the information to appear in the center rather than always aligned left.

Help - thanks!

Text in controls can be left, right, or center aligned.

I don't mean within the control box - I mean how it appears on a page? It's not easy to explain.

With text you can increase the textbox to the whole width of the report and use center alignment. With images you will just have to work out the center point of the report using the ruler at the top and move it so the center handle is lined up with the centre point. I've not yet found a center align function tool but it would be handy.

Thanks everyone for your help! The report is landscape and I'm trying to show several images across the page.
On some pages (depending on how it's grouped) - there 5 images and on other pages there are 3 images or 2, etc.

Instead of the images starting on the left hand side and appearing across, was wondering if there is a way to have them start appearing with a centered function!

We don't know where the images are coming from or why there are varying numbers. Can you share how you are finding and displaying the images? Are the image file names stored in a table? Are you using a multiple column report?

Please provide enough information that we don't have to guess in order to provide good suggestions.
