Using Columnar report and Extended columnar layouts
Use the Columnar report and Extended columnar layouts for reporting,
printing, and viewing more than one record at a time in Browse mode.
A Columnar report layout displays and prints fields in columns. Fields
are displayed from left to right across the body, in the order you specify.
Fields that don’t fit wrap to multiple lines. Field names appear in the
header as column headings. If the fields wrap to more than one line,
column headings are stacked. The footer is blank.
An Extended columnar layout displays all fields on one line across the
page. You see each record in one row across the layout, with no
wrapping fields or stacked headings. Use an Extended columnar layout
for browsing; any objects that extend beyond the right edge of the page
won’t print. You can also use this layout if the selected fields don’t fit
across the page and you intend to make some fields smaller to fit the data
on the page.
