❖ To move controls in a report:
1 Select the controls you want to move.

• Drag the controls with the mouse.
• Press an arrow key to move the controls in one direction.
In grid reports
You can reorder columns in a grid report at runtime.
See “Working in a grid report” on page 207.
Copying controls in a report
You can copy controls within a report and to other reports. All properties of the
controls are copied.
❖ To copy a control in a report:
1 Select the control.
2 Select Edit>Copy from the menu bar.
The control is copied to a private InfoMaker clipboard.
3 Copy (paste) the control to the same report or to another one:
• To copy the control within the same report, select Edit>Paste from the
menu bar.
• To copy the control to another report, open the desired report and
paste the control.
InfoMaker pastes the control at the same location as in the source report.
If you are pasting into the same report, you should move the pasted control
so it does not cover the original control. InfoMaker displays a message box
if the control you are pasting is not valid in the destination report.
