Newbie Print Layout problem

When I export a file to any medium (PDF/Excel) I try, the layout is not the
same as what the layout is in the Layout tab.
There's a whole lot of space between the columns, so they don't all fit on
the page (Portrait style), therefore, the PDFs and Excel sheets are way off
Any hints here that I can use to make the print layout look like what I
design in the Layout Tab of the Reporting Services 2005 Design Area?On Jan 8, 11:03 am, "Elmo Watson" <s...@.here.com> wrote:

You should be able to start here.
Layout tab >> Report drop-down >> Report Properties... >> Layout tab.
If this does not compact the report enough, you could try putting
multiple report controls (i.e., table control(s), matrix control(s),
textbox(es), etc) into a rectangle. Hope this helps.

Newbie - Layout Toolbar Disabled

This has got to be one of those "doh" things: how does one enable the
Layout Toolbar? Thanks!Hi,
From your descriptions, I understood you would like know how to show
"Layout Toolbar" in the Report Designer. If I have misunderstood your
concern, please feel free to point it out.
You may check View -> Toolbars, make sure Layout is selected.
Sincerely yours,

I've selected Layout in the Toolbar dropdown, but all of the items are
disabled, regardless of the View.|||Hi,
The items will be enabled when some items in the report is selected. For
example, when we select only one item in the Report, 'Size to Grid' will be
enabled; when we select two items in the Report, almost all items in the
Layout Toolbar will be enabled.

The title seems to be the only item in the report that can be selected. I
want the entire report to be centered horizontally on the page. Is there a
way to do this?
Thanks.

>|||Hi,
Which object in your report you want to be centered horizontally? It won't
be a easy job to do this unless you select the object one by one and center
horizontally them one by one.
