Question

Hello All,
I had a question concerning the format of crystal reports.  Is there anyway possible to have the information displayed vertically instead of horizontally?  I know ift may seem like a wierd question, but I'll give you an example.  My company produces benefit statements for pension plans.  Crystal Reports can only display information for one individual at a time I think (in each section).  I can fit all the fields I want to display in one section, then I can have horizontal rows of individuals on one page.  But is there anyway for me to have the fields going up and down in one section and have more than one person's information display in the section?   Here is the format that I'm asking about:
Employee Name:                              The first employees name           The second employees name             The third employees name
Employee Address:                          The first employees address        The second employees address          The third employees address
Daste of Birth(DOB):                         The first employees DOB            The second employees DOB               The third employees DOB
Date of Hire(DOH):                            The first employees DOH            The second employees DOH               The third employees DOH
Date of Participation(DOP):               The first employees DOP             The second employees DOP               The third employees DOP
Spouse Name:                          The first employees spouse's name   The second employees spouse's name  The third employees spouse's name
Spouse Birthday(SDOB):                  The first employees SDOB           The second employees SDOB               The third employees SDOB

Not sure if this will be helpful but you could try Section Expert---> Format with Multiple Columns. I'm using Crystal XI. This is only available in the detail section as far as I know. I'm still learning all this stuff.
