RE: [sqr-users] Dynamic Heading Size

[Bob Helm <Bob.Helm@mediware.com>]

Unfortunately, we are on SQR 4.3. We will be on 6 soon, but most of our
clients are still on 4, so it won't benefit us right away, but it is great
to know this for the future. Thanks, Peter.

Ray, I'm going to give your suggestion a shot. I've tried everything else it
seems so this has *got* to work ;-)

Bob, Peter,

Peter: Thanks for reminding me about the ALTER-REPORT command,
which allows you to switch to a new heading or footing, and 
specify a new size for a heading or footing.

Bob: So, what version of SQR are you using?
