We have a report which should be displayed in 2 columns, so that it uses less number of pages when printing. Can anyone help me out in this matter ???
To be precise I’m looking for an option present in Microsoft Word i.e
“Format —> Columns ----> Two”
Is such an option available with Business Objects ???
I have used the same option, but the problem is that it is not beginning from the top of the 2nd column, instead it is beginning at the break level.
Probably in order for this to work, I think the whole report should be only in 1 table. Please throw some light on this…
Yes, of course. I’m not sure how you would do it otherwise. The block (table) should be narrow enough to fit on half of a page. Then using the technique already posted you will set it to display in two columns. Note that this will only be visible when in page layout mode (or when printed). When in “normal” mode you will only see one column.
It seems you applied sections on vendor name. If you apply 2 columns, it will only apply within that section and it will not start at the top of the page as you want it to. Instead of section, apply break on the vendor name and do appropriate formating to get the result you want.
You are right, I have applied sections on vendor name. But do you know how to get the same functionality using Breaks. I mean I still want the “Vendor Name” to be shown as a Section or Group Header.
