Adding text to a report

When InfoMaker generates a basic report from a presentation style and data source, it places columns and their headings in the Report painter. You can add text anywhere you want to make the report easier to understand.

StepsTo add text to a report:

  1. Select Insert>Control>Text from the menu bar.

  2. Click where you want the text.

    InfoMaker places the text control in the Design view and displays the word text.

  3. Type the text you want.

  4. (Optional) Change the font, size, style, and alignment for the text using the StyleBar.

NoteDisplaying an ampersand character If you want to display an ampersand character, type a double ampersand in the Text field. A single ampersand causes the next character to display with an underscore because it is used to indicate accelerator keys.
