How do I change the orientation of a table in a BIRT report?

Not in box (up to 3.7). You have to use 3'd party libs like that one.

If you want dataset records to be reported across the page, this would have to be done via a crosstab. If you want dataset records to be reported down the page, this can't be done automatically as far as I know. However, it can be done by inserting a new detail line in your report table object for each database field to be reported, then moving column headings from the heading row into the first column's detail rows and moving record values into the second column's detail rows.So, for example, a report with 6 columns in it would become a two column report with six detail rows.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
