> ## Adjusting spacing in a report

> This section describes how to adjust spacing in your report. For example, you can use the Spacing options to adjust the left margin, change the line spacing within the report, and determine the number of lines between the header and body of the report.

> | To adjust spacing in your report:

> 1. Select the Settings option, then select the Spacing option.

> The following window appears:

> This window displays the current and default settings for reports. It also enables you to adjust spacing within your report. For example, it enables you to set the number of character spaces for the left margin and between each column. (Your database administrator can define different default settings. For more information, see Chapter 9, " Database Administration.")

> 2. Move the cursor to the field you want to change.

> 3. Type the new value in the field.

> For example, if you want to leave three spaces between each column of the report, enter 3 in the Spaces between columns field.

> If you want to put a blank line between each line in your report to make it easier to read, enter 2 in the Line spacing field. (Line spacing does not affect the header or labels of the report.)

> Note: The Lines per page field shows the default and current settings for the number of lines per page a report has when you send it to a printer (or other paged device). The number of lines per page on a terminal is different. When you send your report to your terminal, it automatically adjusts the paging according to the size of your terminal.

> 4. Press GO to make the changes to the report.

> Notice that the Report Width changes if you changed the left margin or the number of spaces between columns.
