Hi,

I am using borders to highlight the fields in a report. Although I have tried aligning/sizing the fields, the borders are not connected when viewed on the report. Is there a way the report shows like a table with borders connected (like a word table)?
 
Is this a crosstab? If so, go into the customize style tab and uncheck "show cell margins." If not, would coloring the entire section work instead of the fields? You can handle this in the section expert->color tab.

Using borders on fields to build a table is full of problems.

Either use boxes and lines to build your own table, which is the aesiest and quickest solution.

Or place data in text boxes and use borders on those, however aligning these is very difficult.
