I need to show a long text in two columns

Post by barlows »

Hi, I am the new kid in the block.
I was told to make a report using your tool, and they ask me to show a long (or maybe not that long) text coming from DB in two columns. I've tried with a DataBand with columns but i just show the whole text in one column. I've played with the CanBreak and Max Number of lines properties but it didn't work either.
To show a prototype what i did was to use two text components and show Left chars and Right chars in each.
Is there a better way to do this? with the solution I presented theres always error when splitting words
