Reort headers & Footers

[Guest]

With a list of labels - 2 columns per page, I would like the report head &
footer to span the entire page - centered . So if I have two columns of 3.5"
each I want the header/footer to be centered on an 8"page. I'm pretty sure
this can be done, but when I try to make the header/footer wider, it makes
the entire "section" (i.e. label column) wider. Ideas?

Set the width of the report to the full width of the page, less the
size of the left and right margins.
Add your label to the Report header/footer sections.
Size them the full width of the report.
Set their Font Alignment to Centered.

Click on File + PageSetup + Columns
Uncheck the 'same as detail' check box and
enter whatever column width is needed, i.e. 3.5 inches.

Save the changes and run the report.
The labels in the Report header or footer should be centered on the
page.
