Make diagonal header 2

[netpeach]

I need to know if it is possible to have my headers turned diagonal. The report I am running does not have enough room to display all of the header info.

I have not tried this, but it may help:

Haven't found a good soloution, but you can use ther RTF control to have text diagonal. The RTF text bos is still a regular rectangle, so spacing / lining up is a pain and doesn't save all that much room.

netpeach,
Don't want to take the easy way and go with vertical?

I've replaced the standard labels on reports by formatting an Excel sheet to have white borders, typing the captions in the cells and formatting the cells to the desired angle.

Copy and paste each cell into the report design view as an unbound object frame, set the background and border to transparent, and set it where you want it.

It doesn't work for data, of course, but an advantage is that you get the formatting flexibility of Excel where you can have part of the caption in bold, large-font and blue while a second line is an italicized smaller font.





Life is short.
Build something.

BoxHead,

Thanks! What a great idea! I will be using this in the future. I don't need it right now, but there have been times when I could have used this.

You get a star from me,
