Hi all

I am using BIRT 2.5.1. When I display a report in HTML format using BIRT web viewer, it show the report at the right side of the viewer. I am using fixed layout. Is their any way to show the report at the center of viewer?

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

The default in the viewer is to show to the left. You can always add a
grid with one column and one cell and put the contents of the report
into the one cell. On the cell properties choose the center button.

Thank your for your quick reply. But solution is not working because I am using "fixed layout". It render HTML report with style
"table-layout: fixed;". So show the report at the left side.

Is their any way to change predefined style and show the report at center?

Thank you.

Create a new style but use the predefined style named table. Select
text block and choose text alignment center. See attached example.
