make records go left to right, not top to bottom?

[stingrae]

I have tow tables:

tabe1 and table2. for each record in table1 there can be multiple records in table2.

I am trying to write a report and instead of each of table2's rows going down the page, i want them to start at the left, and go accross to the right ( i only want 6 of them so it won't run off the page).

does this make sense? is there a way to do this?
