Management Reporter- Why are column headings printing like this?!

UPDATE: I had already checked the formatting and alignment of all columns prior to posting. Everything is the same.

I also tried copying the word from the other columns to hopefully also copy the formatting. That did not work, either.

And, as noted originally, and per the first attachment, everything appears in alignment upon generation. It's when I download to Management Reports Report View that it gets out of whack.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

When I generate my report, the headings appear fine, as per the first attachment.

But, when I download to Management Reports Report Viewer to print, they are all wonky, as per the second attachment.

Can someone please help me and provide guidance on how to get the column headings to print in alignment?

Thank you.

Check the format of each column header. It looks like the justification (font, bold, or other setting) may be different in the This Year column than the other columns.

Hi,

Like Lisa mentioned to check columns if everything is same.

You can copy paste the word and then you can change it, it will remain in same alignment.

As per my updated post, I tried both of these suggestions already, prior to posting.

Have you tried creating a new column? Printing to a different printer (for example PDF)? Removing any unneeded column heading rows?

Yes, I have tried all those things - adding a new column, printing to a different printer and removing column heading rows. I tried adding rows, too. Nothing works.

I just tried creating a completely new column definition from scratch. The first column is still misaligned. This is MADDENING!

Yes, it is maddening when something seemingly simple (and illogical) doesn't make sense. ☹️

Few more thoughts ...
-Are you on the latest MR CU release (2.12.16013.)?
-Current supported version (18.6+) of GP?
-What desktop operating system? (Since CU 16 was released before Windows 11, odd things could happen with it.)
-Remove the Current Month/Year to Date row that spreads across multiple columns. Does This Year now print properly? (This obviously doesn't solve the problem, but may provide some idea on the source of the issue.)
-Is the This Year column the same width as vs. Last Year? (I'm curious if it is "too narrow" to properly print This Year the same as other columns.)

Few more thoughts ...
-Are you on the latest MR CU release (2.12.16013.)? I am on 2.12.16005.1. I will see if I can upgrade.
-Current supported version (18.6+) of GP? Yes. 18.7.1765
-What desktop operating system? (Since CU 16 was released before Windows 11, odd things could happen with it.) Windows 11
-Remove the Current Month/Year to Date row that spreads across multiple columns. Does This Year now print properly? (This obviously doesn't solve the problem, but may provide some idea on the source of the issue.) Tried that. Still doesn't print properly.
-Is the This Year column the same width as vs. Last Year? (I'm curious if it is "too narrow" to properly print This Year the same as other columns.) Everything was autofit. I tried changing the This Year column to a fixed width (i tried several varying widths). But, that didn't fix the issue, either.
