Currently my report looks like this:
 
group name (group header 1)
   actiontype1 (group header 2)
     action1type items (detail)
     action1type items (detail)
     action1type items (detail)
 
   actiontype2 (group header 2)
      action2type items (detail)
      action2type items (detail)
      action2type items (detail)
 
But this layout is making the report too big (over 400 pages) while there is a lot of empty space towards the right.
 
So now I want to make the report look like this:
 
group name (group header 1)
   actiontype1 (group header 2)
     action1type items                          action1type items
      action1type items                         action1type items
       
   actiontype2 (group header 2)
      action2type items                         action2type items
      action2type items                         action2type items
 
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this kind of layout using Crystal Reports 2008?

I would try making the detail section multiple columns.
 
Check help for hints.  I haven't formatted a report this way, so I can't predict what is going to happen.  I would guess that you do not want to format the groups as multiple columns.

I finally got it to work. I checked the option: Format with Multiple Columns for the Details section and then adjusted the other options under the Layout tab. Thank you for the feedback.
