= SYMPTOMS =

Fields in the Report Layout view of a database document do not align correctly even if the Snap To Grid option is used.

= CAUSE =

The Snap To Grid option correctly aligns report fields until a scroll bar is used. After you scroll in the document, the Snap to Grid settings are offset and the fields do not line up.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works versions 4.0, 4.0a, and 4.0b. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= RESOLUTION =

Try either of the following suggestions to resolve this problem:

  While in Report Layout view, do not use the scroll bars before you complete alignment of all fields. -or-   Turn off the Snap To Grid option. Align fields manually.
