in PDF, headalign = body just doesn't seem to do anything. How can you accomplish nice heading alignments in PDF?
Mickey G, if you've got your ears on, i sure would like some help. Your PDF article in the Focus On section is the BEST!

Susannah,

Use ITEM and WIDTH -

-DEFAULT &Format = 'PDF'
TABLE FILE CAR
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'FRANCE'
HEADING
"Country <+0 <COUNTRY"
"Manufacturer <+0 <CAR"
"Model <+0 <MODEL"
"Cost to Dealer <+0 <DCOST Retail Cost <+0 <RCOST"
-* OK with HTML, PDF or EXL2K output
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &Format
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOPAGE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
-IF &Format EQ 'HTML' THEN :No_Align;
  TYPE=REPORT, HEADALIGN=BODY, $
-:No_Align
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, ITEM=1, WIDTH=2.50, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=12, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, ITEM=2, WIDTH=1.50, JUSTIFY=LEFT, COLOR=RED, SIZE=10, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2, ITEM=1, WIDTH=2.50, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=12, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2, ITEM=2, WIDTH=1.50, JUSTIFY=LEFT, COLOR=RED, SIZE=10, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=3, ITEM=1, WIDTH=2.50, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=12, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=3, ITEM=2, WIDTH=1.50, JUSTIFY=LEFT, COLOR=RED, SIZE=10, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=4, ITEM=1, WIDTH=1.20, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=10, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=4, ITEM=2, WIDTH=1.00, JUSTIFY=CENTER, COLOR=RED, SIZE=10, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=4, ITEM=3, WIDTH=1.20, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=10, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=4, ITEM=4, WIDTH=1.00, JUSTIFY=CENTER, COLOR=RED, SIZE=10, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Susan, Tony;

I wrote a "Part 2" article on the subject of HTML and PDF Report Design which I sent to IBI on Monday, January 6, 2007. I discuss the HEADALIGN keyword among other things in this article and how it affects (or DOESN'T affect) HTML and PDF output formats.

Hopefully IBI will have it up in the Focus on Developers section soon.

As I've grumbled before - wouldn't it be nice to use the same styling syntax for HTML, PDF and Excel and have WebFOCUS take care of it in the background?

I understand that some things can't be done the same way across the board, but we keep getting told that the Excel 2000 format is really a XHT file, which is HTML, then why can't the styling for HTML and Excel be exactly the same?

you all are the bomb! thanks so much.
