The reason for this difference is that in Report Design mode, Access
doesn??™t know how much of a field??™s data you want to display. Later on, the field??™s name and contents
might be radically different. Sometimes label controls are not resized correctly, however, and
have to be adjusted manually.
You can also select Format ??? Size ??? To Fit to change the size of the label control text
automatically. TIP

Presenting Data with Access Reports 9
Before continuing, you should check how the report is progressing. You should also save the report
frequently as you make changes to it. You could send a single page to the printer, but is probably
easier to view the report in Print Preview. Right-click the report??™s title bar, and select Print Preview
from the shortcut menu. Figure 9-28 shows a zoomed print preview of the report??™s current appearance.
The page header information is at the very top of the page, and the first product record
appears below the header.
