Fantastic! I tried using labels because I knew they could traverse left
to right.
Looks like columnar reports does the same thing in addition to providing
all the goodies in reports designer. (Why didn't I notice/think of
Layout in Page Setup?)
The adjustable column width and column position give me the flexibility
I needed to put some static text down the left side of the page using
page style.
Thanks to Tony and John for the suggestions using tables.
Way cool.

Doug,
Take a look at the "Columnar Report" option to achieve your goal. This
cool
feature allows you to define all bands, headers, footers, breaks, and
most
importantly the ability to define any Number of Columns, Column Width,
Column Positions, Column Traversal (Top to Bottom or Left to Right), and
Row Spacing.
To explore this option:
Report Designer | Main Menu | File | Page Setup | Layout ...
A sample "ColumnarReport" report bundled with Running R:BASE Your Way!
(RRBYW14 - RRBYW17) illustrates the use of such feature in R:BASE.
Have fun exploring this option!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
