    There are several layouts if you use the report wizard. Try it on a test report to see some variations and get some ideas.

    Re: Access Report, layout

    I made my reports using design view though..is there a way to change it through that?

    I dont think so other then manually changing things because that is all the wizard is, a macro that generates the layout.
    You could do a test report of the one you want to use and place it in design view and mimic its properties for the controls, font, colors, sizes, etc.
