2.
Enter information about your report in the text boxes provided. Be sure to enter the title "Customer
List" in the Title text box. This information will be used in the next section of the tutorial.
3.
Click OK when finished.
2.3.2.12 Adding a title
As you can see, the report looks incomplete without a title. Although you can add a title using a text
object, you can also tell the program to take the title information directly from the Title text box in the
Document Properties dialog box.
2.3.2.12.1 To add a title
1.
Click the Design tab.
2.
In the Field Explorer, scroll down to Special Fields and expand it.
3.
Choose Report Title.
4.
Drag the cursor over the report. An object frame appears.
5.
Position the object frame in the upper left-hand corner of the Page Header (PH) section of the report
and release the mouse button to place the object.
6.
Click the Preview tab or Refresh to review your changes.
The report title object now displays the title that you entered in the Title text box of the Document
Properties dialog box.
2.3.2.13 Formatting objects
Now you can format the report title. This time, however, you will remain in the Preview tab to do the
work. This will make it easier to see your work while you are formatting the title.
2.3.2.13.1 To format an object
1.
To center the title, you will first need to expand the Title field so that it's about the same width as
the data in your report. To do this, select the object by clicking it.
2.
Position the cursor on the right edge of the object until the cursor turns into a Resizing cursor. Drag
the right edge of the field box until it is even with the right edge of the data in the Contact Name
field object.
You have created a large field that extends from the left edge to the right edge of the report.
