It wolud be great to allow customer to make basic editing in Reporting Facility, for example, font type and size, and, most important, edit the size of fields in the Reporting. Our customer want a lot of information in report (A4 format, landscape mode), but not all of information could fit on the page, because some of the other field are needlessly large. With basic manipulation with their size, it will be possible to put all necessary and more information on the page.

You can use A3 landscape and then export it to excel, modify fonts and cells formating.
No other way i have found :(.

Yes, I know that, but from customers points of view - this is more works to do, and why, if they have reporting from Reporting Facility? Why use third parity application for simple task as a text formatting in report?

This is not possible, except if you're using Excel as you suggested. It would be great if BMC implement some basic functionality for editing reports.
