Converted report too far against left side of screen

I converted an RS2000 report to RS2005 and uploaded it to a new 2005 Report Server.

When I view the report through IE 6 at the Report Server URL, the report seems jammed against the left side of the screen. This didn't happen when the report was in RS2000. When it was still an RS2000 report, there appeared to be some space (perhaps 1/8 - 1/4 inch) of space between the left edge of the screen and the left margin of the report.

Using Visual Studio 2005, I've tried moving all the objects within the report a little to the right, but that messes up the way the report prints.

Is this a common problem? Is there a way to get the space to the left of the report back when the report is rendered?

Thanks for your help!

Also...

The border that used to be around the body of the report no longer shows up. I've checked the properties for the body of the report, and it is formatted to Border Color = Black, Border Style = Solid, and Border Width = 2pt. But the border no longer appears when the report is rendered.

Convert RS2005 rdl to RS2000

Hi,

Is there any tool that can convert a report definition language file written for RS2005 to be compatible with RS2000?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Microsoft does not provide a RDL-downgrade tool. Not sure if anyone else has built one and made it available to the public. Anyway, it would not be difficult to build a tool yourself, or just follow the manual steps described in this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=414302&SiteID=1

The manual steps cover almost 100% of RDLs (I omitted custom report item and custom properties).
