Default how do you repeat the first column (field) on a multi-page report

In a multi-page report, how do you repeat the first column of information
like you can do in Excel by simply choosing column to repeat????

If I understand you correctly there isn't a clear method. You can copy the
leftmost controls and paste them just to the right of the vertical page break.

I was assuming the report was too wide to fit on a single page. For instance
a report like a monthly budget crosstab with a category down the left side
and 12 columns for the months. If each column is 1" wide, this would be 12"
plus the width of the category.

If the report design wants to print the category and 1st six months on one
page and then the category and 2nd six months, then I have always moved the
last six months further to the right and inserted a copy of the categories
between months six and seven.

That's probably a good assumption. I was only thinking of a
multi column report with labels or a field repeating on each
page.
