How to create columns in a report?

[Guest]

Hi everyone. I am pretty positive I have done this before but I can't find
any info about in anywhere and I can't remember. I have a report that I want
to print out in columns. My report is only 4.75" wide so there is plenty of
room to double up when in Landscape format for printing. I basically want the
report to list out to the bottom of the page and start again at the top of
the other half of the page as if it were a new page. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In Report Design View, click on
File + Page SetUp + Columns.
With a column of 4.75" you can only get 2 columns in Landscape.
If that is what you want, enter 2 in the number of columns box and
place a check mark in "Same as Detail" box.

If you wish smaller (but more) columns, uncheck the "Same as Detail"
box and enter the column width where indicated.
Also set the Column Layout to Down then Across at this time.

find. I appreciate the help.
