     Base reports are either text documents or spreadsheets. But you
might be able to use Writer to create an HTML document with the
formating you want. Using the Data Source window (use the F4 key to open
it), you should be able to drag the fields from this window down to
where you want the fields to be in the HTML document. You may have to
modify the HTML in the document. I've not tried this, but it is a
possibility.
