Re: Using RDi Report Designer on a print file larger than 132 characters

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Edmund

I've struggled with this, too - it's not obvious that I should go to 
"Design Reports" to set something - and, IIRC, I have to start designing 
one in order to be able to set the width.

It seems this value should be at the file level - I think this was 
easier in RLU - one of the few things that I would say this about. 
Because I otherwise like the Report Designer a lot.

Do I hear an RFE in my future?   :)
