Report Layouts

I have a report that I want to create and I would like to know the best way
to lay it out. I want a report that looks like a full page form (i.e., like a
survey form). Would I use a table with many detail rows for each row I want
on my report or is there a better way?A table has fixed rows and columns... If your form is MORE than fixed rows
and columns , then you would probably need to start wth a list.. A list
allows more flexible layout than a table..

heading the right direction.
