Changing Profit & Loss Report Title Format

[Keith Fetterman]

Hi Derek,

I was afraid of that.  I'll add this as an enhancement request.  I am
guessing that many people would like to see the company name on a separate
line, especially if they have a long company name.

I did figure out a simple way to do it.  Since the reports are generated as
HTML, I added a <br> tag at the end of the company name in the reports
options company name field.  The result is the company name and report
title are left justified in the report.  The reports would look better if
these titles were centered.

Thanks for the help.

Keith
