Sometimes we want the row heading to be at the bottom of the row, whereas currently it is forced to the top. There should be an option of vertical alignment - top, middle, bottom.

Where the bottom option is chosen there should be the option of removing the word "Total" and just having the row heading on the subtotal line.

For accounting Profit & Loss statements this is very important because currently the total Profit number is displayed at the bottom of the page but the corresponding row heading is in the top left hand corner of the page. It is visually cumbersome and will be rejected by most managers.

RE: row heading vertical alignment

The report headers look so bad without vertical alignment. This is something that is very basic and should be the easiest to fix. Waiting...

This should be easy to implement surely?

RE: row heading vertical alignment

This would be an extremely useful feature for readability of larger reports. The horizontal alignment is great, but we need vertical too.

RE: row heading vertical alignment

This needs to be added to most areas where there text. It would be very useful for improving the readability.

Hopefully this should be relatively easy to add.

RE: row heading vertical alignment

Vertical alignment of row headers would be great, it looks odd when Word Wrapping is on

RE: row heading vertical alignment

In the Row Headers section, there is Alignment that with options for Left, Auto, Center or Right . This Alignment should be renamed as Horizontal Alignment. There should be a new option for a Vertical Alignment to choose Top, Middle, or Bottom. Please add. Tables look very odd when there is Word Wrap turned On and we can't align the row headers to the bottom.
