Hi,

I am out on vacation, so I haven't always had access to the internet.

Maybe it would be useful to explain my request, at least as well as I can
since the original request was over 6 months ago.

As the user designs a report one can choose landscape or portrait for the
entire report.  IF, the user decides to change the orientation later, he
can change it for ONLY the first page.  It would be nice and useful if one
could change the orientation of the ENTIRE report.  Yes, I know one can
design a NEW report that is identical to the first one, EXCEPT for
orientation, but that is less convenient for the user than clicking an
*orientation
*button to changes from landscape to portrait or vice-versa.

This is not an important fix, like one that fixes a bug that causes a
software crash, but it would be useful to the user.

HTH,
Ralph
