I have ten fields that I am trying to output in a report. Because there are so many fields, the line wrap causes the text to break across lines. I would like to have the first 5 fields output on one line, then the other 5 fields on the next, and so on. How do I do this?
Another approach I would like to try to implement is to have the first 5 fields printed across left to right, then have the next 5 fields one above another. How would I do this?
Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Been a while since I did this, but use the Sun Report Builder plug-in and position the fields in the way you want in the body of the report, called the 'detail area' in this example: SUN Report Builder. It talks about computed fields but for straight fields lifted out of the database you just position them where you want them to go.
