Displaying lists horizontally

I am writing a report that displays small lists of data. The lists themselves are 2 inches wide or so and since the lists repeat vertically, I am essentially wasting a lot of space on the right side of the report. Is there a way to display lists horizontally on a page (but still within the page width)?

Thanks!

Did you get anywhere with this as I need to do the same? I would have thought that this is a pretty obvious requirement and should be easy to do, but I'm having alot of trouble.|||If your report is quite simple, you might be able to use the matrix layout instead of the table layout, and have your list values as the columns.|||Thanks for the reply. Will the matrix keep within the width of the page for long lists? i.e. will it snake onto a new line when it hits the page border?|||As far as I know, that's not possible unfortunately. The best bet might be to use SQL to lay the data out exactly how you want it before you put it on the report.
