use relative positioning, compile, run pull up the spooled report & fiddle with 
the actual endpositions ...

Thanks,

I have just create a *SRC file called QRPTSRC. Then  I can  copy a spool
file of the report to it, or start from scratch.  Usually I lay out a
ruler as well.  

Have also seen EXcel used for report layout either one works.  Haven't
started with Designer yet.

Someone must have done this already!

I'm modifying an existing (complicated) print layout in DDS.  Rather
than 
using my fingers(!), or learning RLU <g>, has anyone created a nice
wide 
(178 characters or so) report template in Excel?
