Thanks Ken

I was hoping to get VCF to develop the chart without a lot of manual editing,
because we all know what a pain that is in VCF. It looks like it wouldn't do
that. I was looking to do quite a number of them, and that's not really feasible
if I have to edit each one to get them to fit on the page. What you are
describing should be available options in the report writer. Maybe in the next
update.
