newbie here. How do I rearrange how a report looks?

Hi, I have Access 2007. I have created a report with business name,
address, etc... along with a list of different types of employees
(administrative, clerical, etc..). I am trying to create a report with the
Business name and details all in one block (sort of how it would look like if
you were creating mailing labels) and under that I want to create columns
title administrative, clerical etc... with the names of employees under each
column. Right now, my report is totally in columns, and the list of
employees is seperated my commas instead of being under each other - like in
a list. I am a newbie here....so any hand holding is quite welcome. I do
have Access for dummies but I think I need Access for super-dummies!

Thanks!

When you create a report with the report wizard, it asks you if you want
columnar, tabular, block, and so forth type of layout. I would re-create the
form with the wizard and check the one you need.

I've tried all sorts of configurations using the wizard...no luck

Try using the group/sort icon and setting up groups of data the way you want
to see them.
