| Left margin for first column
|
Enter the number of inches or millimeters that you want the first column indented (offset) from the left margin of the page.
Enter inches or millimeters based on which one you selected in the
Unit of Measure field on the report Options Layout tab.
To determine the position of the first column,
DPS adds your entry in
Left margin for first column to the entry in
Left Margin on the Layout tab. For example, if you use inches and the
Left Margin contains
1.00 and
Left margin for first column contains
.25,
DPS prints the report header information with a 1.00-inch margin but prints the first column 1.25 inches from the left edge of the page.
