    Reports positioning boxes with text content

    Hello all,


    I am very new to Access but an advance user of excel and word.

    I created a condo management report, where I have 3 columns; issue type, name of the issue, and memo box.

    They show up as below, but that creates lots of wasted space, below the "issue type" and "name of issue" boxes.

    I would like to have the memo section below "issue type & name of issue" boxes as shown in the bottom grid.

    How can I accomplish that?
    Thank you
    Pierre

    Issue type name of issue memo
    Issue Type name of issue memo
    Issue type name of issue memo

    Issue type name of issue
    memo

    Did you create report with wizard? Wizard 'groups' controls. Select all controls at once by mouse click and sweep. Right click > Layout > Remove. Now you can move and resize controls at will.
