2.3.2.2 Report sections
The Design tab is divided into five sections: Report Header (RH), Page Header (PH), Details (D), Report
Footer (RF), and Page Footer (PF). If at any time you are unsure of the report section in which you are
working, simply look at the shaded area to the left of the report which always displays either the section
names or the initials that designate the names. See Design tab.
If the Short Section Names check box is selected in the Design View area of the Options dialog box,
then the Report Header, Page Header, Details, Report Footer and Page Footer section names will
appear as RH, PH, D, RF and PF respectively. If this check box is not selected, follow these steps:
