I have a need to produce a report in a "two column" layout, much like the pages of a magazine. Each "column" with contain a number of data elements. Want the layout to be "typical" where it starts in the upper left, goes down the left hand side of the page and then, at the bottom, starts again at the upper right, with the data picking right back up where it left off on the lower left.

Can Crystal do that?
 
Yes, it can.

One of the format attributes of the detail section is "Format with Multiple Columns". When you turn that checkbox on, a new Layout tab appears...

- Ido

view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.
 
Thanks! Thats what I was looking for (albeit in the WRONG places!)
 
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHHA :)

One more question. Is there some facility for column headings that aren't page headers?
My problem is, I have a Report Header on the first page (hence the name Report Header) but when exported to Word, the page header (that holds my column headings currently) actually goes INTO the Word Page Header, not below the Report header.
