Enter inches or millimeters based on which one you selected in the
Unit of Measure field on the report Options Layout tab.
To determine the position of the first column,
Vision adds your entry in
Left margin for first column to the entry in
Left Margin on the Layout tab. For example, if you use inches and the
Left Margin contains
1.00 and
Left margin for first column contains
.25,
Vision prints the report header information with a 1.00-inch margin but prints the first column 1.25 inches from the left edge of the page.
