crystal reports formatting

Hi experts ,

I'm new Crystal and having really hard time to format my reports. the moment i manage to make one field to appear well at the report , other fields are not showing correctly and so on...
is there a way to work with all fields in a section simultaneously and format everything according to general guidelines?
Could You please explain step by step for novice user?

I am assuming you are seeing issue when you try to format to page size?  Is this a portrait or landscape report?  You should be able to preview/setup how the reports look as you would send them to your Printer..

Part of the issue I am suspecting is that you are trying to either add a field or change a field..  If you change the field like a description, you may need to show only like the first 50 characters or increase the line height to show more than one line in the field.

I have seen and heard of issues with fonts when exporting to PDF but nothing with Excel.

DO you have the latest service packs installed?

Is this on the same machine?
