I was looking at the master detail video and it showed a "table mode" column resize on headers and details at the same time, I can't find this feature in the current build, could you help me out?

Hello,

This mode have been replaced with the new one, which even more powerful.

To enter this alignment mode just select all necessary components by one of the following ways:

Drag the mouse over components in the report's page.
Ctrl+A - will select all components on page.
Clicking on desired components while 'Shift' or 'Ctrl' key is being pressed.

And now you can see blue lines connecting edges of all selected components.

The following options are available for work in that mode:

Drag any edge of the rectangle and all 'structure' will be resized.
If Ctrl is held down then only size of contiguous cells would be changed.
If Alt is held down then 'precise' resizing is possible and components not aligned to grid.

This mode will help you to reduce amount of rows and columns on the page. Table-looking reports will be exported in the Excel in the best possible way as the report is represented as a big spreadsheet and you can 'predict' its layout.

Thank you.

Thanks Edward,

I have tried it out, it is a little fiddly but otherwise very powerful.

Cheers
