of his cottage garden. "What I really needed was a way to organize

Q: How do I change the width of columns when I use the report layout tool?
A:
The width of columns in a report layout is automatically calculated based
on their widths in the specimen list. To change report layout
widths, return to the specimen list and adjust the column width using the
column header.
Remember that a report layout specifies font faces, point
sizes, colors, and header & footer text. A printed report is
dependant upon both the report layout and the current filter. The current
filter specifies which items to print, which columns to print, their sort
order, and the relative widths of the columns.

Q: I have an extensive collection of plants which I grow
under lights, on windowsills, outside sheltered areas, and in my
greenhouse. Is the software set up to track my plant's growing location?
A:
Yes. The custom category for "garden location"
is intended for just that purpose. You can specify all of
your growing locations as different custom categories, then use
this item to sort, filter, and develop reports of your collection.
