Balancing field spacing

Now that the Country field has been deleted, there is a large amount of white space between the City and Contact Name fields. You might be satisfied with the spacing as it stands, but it might be more readable if the columns were better balanced across the page.

To balance field spacing
  1. Return to the Design tab. Select the Contact Name field and its field heading by using the Ctrl-click combination.
  2. Place the cursor over one of the two highlighted text objects and drag them to the left, closer to the City field.
  3. Click the Preview tab and review your work again.

    The report should look similar to this:

The spacing between the fields is much better, but it looks as if the report title is off-center.

  1. Click the report title object to select it.
  2. Position the cursor on the right handle of the object until the cursor turns into a Resizing cursor. Drag the right edge of the object frame until it is even with the right edge of the data in the Contact Name field object.

    The report title automatically recenters itself based on the size of the object.
