Inserting Headers and Footers
The report header holds the items that will appear at the commencement of a report. The report header title bar controls the height of the header area, and the background colour. You are able to use the tools to insert text and/or graphic items. The instructions to add items, edit their properties and apply styles to text are available in the How To topics listed below. These can be applied to header, footer and detail areas of a report layout.
