Aligning Data, Text, and Images (Report Builder 1.0)
The contents of text boxes and the contents of cells within a table or matrix can be aligned vertically and horizontally. Contents can be horizontally aligned along the left, right or middle of the cell or text box, and vertically aligned along the top, middle or bottom of the cell or text box.
Padding can be applied to images, and the contents of text boxes and cells. Padding can help you to refine the alignment of an image, or a cell's or text box's contents. By default, text boxes and cells within the report layout have a padding of 2 points along each side and images have a default of 0 points. Padding can be increased up to 10 points. Padding can only be specified in points.
Aligning Report Items
You can drag and drop report items and use the Snap to grid option in the Page Setup dialog box to help you align report items on the page. By default, this option is selected. If you drag report items to a specific gridline on the design area and Snap to grid is selected, the left edge of the item is aligned to the gridline.
