Aligning Container fields to the left

[grant]

We have been trying to make graph like grading on a school report. Basically we were using letters (l) to create a line graph in a text field - it didn't print the same way as it appeared on screen.

We then tried a repeating container field with shaded boxes so that according to a chosen number, this image would appear in the box - this works fine and prints accurately, except that we are trying to align the images to the left hand side of the page. The calculation gets the correct picture, but I can't align the image to the left - it only centers the image.

Can anyone help or suggest a better solution (I also tried a relationship to the images, but the alignment problem persists)?

Thanks !

Hi Grant,

I'm not sure whether you are talking about the image itself within the container or aligning the calc container while printing.

From layout mode, if the image is centering within the container, right-click it, select 'graphic format' and specify the alignment - left, top whatever. If it's while printing, you must select Format > Sliding/Printing > left. If you need to align several fields (left-align), go to Arrange > Set Alignment.

I hope I covered what you need!

Thankyou, the Graphic Format was the thing that did the trick. I appreciate your help - everything now prints nicely !
