Number fields not lining up with heading.

[Former Member]

I add a number field to my report.

The heading and field are right justified and lined up using a guideline.

When I preview the report, the number and heading are not lined up.

Any ideas? Thanks! Linda

Check the formatting of the number. It may have a CR or - at the end that will only show up if it is negative. You can correct this by formatting it with a - to the left. And try the align feature - so much easier than using the guidelines.

Charliy,

Thanks for both tips!

Also, if you format negative numbers with brackets there is always an indent to allow for the possibility of a bracket on the right edge.

This keeps all numbers in line with each other whether negative or not.

Greetings Linda, if you are having problems with the guide lines you better remove them and align the objects manually or you can make use of grid and snap the objects to the grid. These options are available in u201Cviewu201D menu. I hope this solves your problem.
