alignment by using the Format button, not the Style button.
MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: In Visual FoxPro for Windows, there is coordination between the
Report Writer's Format button and the Text Alignment command under the
Format menu. The format selected in the Text Alignment command becomes the
default selection for the report's Format button.
In the Report Expression dialog box, choose the Format button. If the
field type is character, Center and Right Align are the available
options.
If the field type is numeric, Left Justify is an available option in FoxPro
version for MS-DOS. In FoxPro for Windows, however, the Left Justify option
is disable (dimmed) for numeric field types.
If you choose the Style button in the Report Expression dialog box,
the Center, Left, and Right alignment options are available. However,
these options do not change the alignment for the field unless the
output is printed using a PostScript printer driver. The Style selection is
a MS-DOS only option.
To left-justify a field in FoxPro for Windows, choose Text Alignment from
the Object menu, then select Left.
