After placing all of the Label objects, we'll align them vertically so the text is printed evenly. Use the alignment features available in the Report Designer instead of trying to place each object at a specific pixel location. Objects can be aligned both vertically and horizontally.
To align Label objects vertically:
| 1. | In the "Report Designer" window, click on the "ID/Last name:" Label object. Press and hold the [Shift] key, then click on the "Company:", "Slogan:", "Total:", and "Place:" Label objects. |
The Label objects are enclosed in red handlebars. If you prefer to use just the mouse, you can lasso the objects. To lasso the objects, place the mouse cursor to the top left corner of the objects, click and drag the cursor to the bottom right corner of the objects.
| 2. | From the "Align or Space" toolbar, choose the "Align Right" button (third button from the left). |
| 3. | From the "Size" toolbar, choose the "Grow Width to Largest" button (second button from the left). |
| 4. | If the labels are not lined up along the left sides, choose the "Align Left" button from the "Align or Space" toolbar. |
| 5. | Click outside the objects to deselect them. |
The selected objects are lined up along the right edges and all have the same width.
