Adding fields to a layout
You can add a field to a layout at any time. A field can be added
anywhere on any layout, as many times as you want. You can get
different results by placing the same field in different locations on the
layout. For example:
1 Add the same summary field to a subsummary part to calculate totals
for each group of sorted records, and to a grand summary part to get
totals for all the records in the file.
1 Add a field to the header or footer parts to repeat data from the first
record or the last record on the page as a header or footer. (You might
add a Last Name field to the header in a telephone directory.)
To add a field to a layout:
1. In Layout mode, hold down the Field tool and drag the field to the
layout part in which you want the field to be.
2. In the Specify Field dialog box, select options for the new field.
