Feature: Re-Scale Report Wizard
I created a report and decided that it would be best if I scaled down the font and shrink everything in order to make more room. This is too much work [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.
I think a "Scale Wizard" would be nice to have where it would propartionalty reduce the font, box size, image size, etc of anything that I have selected. For example, if my header is ok but I want to shrink my master data then I would just select all components in the master head and click "Resize Wizard".[/img]

I am not sure I understand your question.
Maybe a description of a real situation will help.
I built a report that has a huge footer after detail records. This footer is about 30-40% the height of the page. Normally the detail lines are a very small number and everything fits on one page. There are some cases though where the detail pushed the footer onto another page. To minimize this, I wanted to reduce the font and re-arrange things so I could have more detail lines as well as making the footer smaller so it would not force a new page. For me to to that, I had to change the font and re-size the height on all the memo boxes and move them up. I then imagined a wizard tool that would do that for me.
sample changing all the memo's font or sizes in a band
select the band right right click and select select all
then move to the font tool bar and select your size all will change.
