Modify the invoice Layout

Hello, i'm new in Dynamics NAV, and I have a lot of doubts modifying the invoice report within Dynamics NAV, the first one is, how should I change the orientation of the page, the layout of the preprinted form of my customer its landscape, but I was unable to make that change, could you help me with this?.

Thanks in advance

go under the last dataitem in the report to the blank line.
then view the properties.

there you will see a choice for Orientation

I would also suggest reading the Application Designers Guide PDF on the Nav CD about Reports.

First, make a copy of the report, and do your modifications on the copy. Always do your modifications on a copy of the report, especially as a newbee. You will thank me later.

Thankyou DenSter and Savatage.

DenSter when you say Copy did you mean Save As the report? or there's a file under Program Files folder.

I'm reading the file that Savatage says, but i didn't find how to change the space between the fields. I'm already change the font size, but i need to decrese the vertical space or make smaller the fields.

Thanks

yes i was thinking "Save As" give new number on 50000+ range with new name.

If your talking about adjusting Section Sizes.

View->Sections->Click on the section you want to adjust the hight
View->Properties you will see SectionHeight property

You can read the Application Designers Guide that comes on the product CD. It has a whole section on Creating Reports.

I mean, every section of the report has a grid (with points), you can move the fields in any order, but the position of these are limited to the align to the grid.

No you do have more control of the fields than you think. Yes the fields do pop around in some default way but if you click on the field & view items properties you can fine tune where on the form and how big.

See: XPos, YPos, Width, Height

Thankyou again Savatage, that works perfectly. Now I have 2 more doubts, (Am I really too newbie?)

The report is the same, the Sales Invoice.

How can I multiply 2 fields? and the other one is:

I have 2 more tables in this report, The Items table, I'm using 2 fields from this table, and the Vendor table, the table are already linked via Data Item Link Reference. After this I had to add 2 bodies to the report, so, with this 2 more bodies, the vertical align of the fields aren't the same, and if one field is copied to another section of the report, it shows a variable error or some like that.

Thankyou in Advance

Best Regards

Your really need to read/use the application designers guide.
Field1 := Field2 * Field3;

the vertical align of the fields aren't the same

Ok, Align them, not sure the problem there :-s

if one field is copied to another section of the report, it shows a variable error or some like that.

It will sure pay to put your exact errors, "some(thing) like that" cannot be answered
