printing columns

Hi List, I want to print a page with a single field repeated in columns accross the top of the page (Field A in eg below) and values of other fields (B-D)listed down the columns. This is easy enough with a Form in Preview mode created with columns but I want the field names of B-D only listed once in the first column. What I get is the field names listed in each column. I cant remove the field names in the other columns using Sliding or my efforts at conditional formatting. I'm naturally hoping for a simple solution I've overlooked (that doesnt mean exporting to excel)

Thanks, Ian

what I want where A = an item and B-D = an item attribute

-----A----A----A

B----3----5---11

C----4----6---2

D----1----9---5

What I get

A----A-----A

B3---B5---B11

C5---C9---C1

D2---D4---D6
