![]() I used to do that when I was working. It also made it more convenient to read stuff while I lounged on the sofa. Of course, I'm really old and I don't have an ipad.

The user has paid for a full screen - it seems a waste if s/he is forced to view reports that are designed to use only about half that screen. Incidentally that is a criticism I have of many websites (including the AO actually) - they typically only use about half the available space on users' flat screen monitors. (Again, with modern stylesheets you can design web apps so that they adapt to the available space automatically.) PS Actually "full" Word (the desktop edition of Word, has (see the View tab of the ribbon) a Web Layout, which paradoxically online Web (which is a cut down version of Word) does not (or if it does, a search didn't show how to get it). Web Layout uses up the whole screen width, so a Word document written for and viewed in Web Layout may be suitable to use as a richer report format....

![]() Agreed. But in the meantime (and probably even when such better ways are found) users (and regulators) will still demand reports, and I'm convinced that the currently available reports can be improved on.
