Divide data into columns

Question

I have a simple single column report. I want to divide data into multiple columns to utilize space. For example,

 

 

Name	Name	Name	Name
A	H	O	V
B	I	P	W
C	J	Q	X
D	K	R	Y
E	L	S	Z
F	M	T
G	N	U

 

and I want the report look same in both the Print and Normal Layouts. Please suggest me how should I accomplish this. I also want another Serial # column which will indicate the record number.

 

I am using Visual Basic 2008 and built in Report Designer.
