Report window and 2-up labels

When I run a multi-column report like labels, the preview does not look like
the labels actually print. Is there a method/property or something that can
make the preview look similar to the actual printed output when printing a
multi-column report? Thanks.

I'm not sure if this will help; however, you could try placing the
controls that are being used into a single rectangle control or adjust
your column spacing (by right-clicking Column 2 and select
Properties). Hope this helps.

David,
I don't think there's a way to get Preview to look like the printed
output straight-a-way as what you're seeing in preview is the HTML
rendering of the xml code. However, once you're in Preview you can
click on the Print Layout button (right next to the Print button) to
give you a rendering of the page as it will print. Once you change to
this view, it'll stay that way as you flip back and forth from Preview
to Layout.
