The Report Wizard generally applies the default alignment to each column label, which
may result in inconsistent alignment. That doesn’t look good, so (if necessary) adjust the
alignment of the column headings labels as desired (generally they should be either all left-aligned or
all centered); on the sample report I made them all centered.If you need to adjust an individual column width, it may be necessary to turn off control grouping
(a new feature in Access 2007). To accomplish this, first select the controls in the Detail section
and click the yellow group anchor that should now be visible (though not very visible — Microsoft
should have selected a color with more contrast than dull mustard yellow) at the upper-left corner
of the group, then right-click any control in the group and select Remove from the Layout submenu
(see Figure 1.20).FIGURE 1.20Turning off control grouping.

records from only one customer, as shown in Figure 1.22.NEW FEATURENEW FEATURE
