Hi all. I'm not sure exactly how to ask this but I'll try.
Is there a way to line up grids automatically when they are on an include page? I have a page that displays report data :
ID # Date Rep Total
xxx today 23 $100
xxx today 33 $250
Then I have an Include page that hold various totals that are displayed as a footer page to the above. It looks like
Total $350
I need to get the grids to line up when included together so it looks right.
How can I do this?

M,
Is the grid on an Incuded page as well?
Or is it the Footer that is an Include page to the Grid.
Are you using tables?
If using tables, find out the table width of your grid and make that a fixed
size, also make sure that table is fixed (left or right) aligned, not
centered.
When that is done, create a table on the footer page of the same (or just a
little bigger) size, same alignment as the grid's.
Place your total right aligned in that table ( or it's utmost right cell ).
Next play with 's to the right of the Footers Total to move it as much
to the left as needed.
There are several more ways to adjust tables and cells, google for table box
model and all its idiosyncracies.
This is a late night response but should give you pointers to obtain the
objective.

Walter,
Thanks for the info. The technique you described is one I had tried and almost worked but not very well so perhaps I just didn't "play around" with it long enough. Before spending lots more time I wanted to see what anyone else suggested in the event I was way off base.
The Footer include page contains a grid which calculates the needed totals.
This worked beautifully once I got the right width settings.
Again, your input is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Michelle
