Multi-line text properties, such as the Comment or Code Preview are
provided by default as text items. You can also add free text items wherever
necessary.
- To insert a text property report item, click in the Design or Outline view in
the position where you want to add the item and then double click or drag and
drop the appropriate Toolbox item.
Note: Text properties are commonly added to the report as part of a book (see
Book Report Items).
- To edit a free text item, double-click the item in the Design view and enter
text as appropriate.
- To modify the property referenced by a text property item, enter the name of
the property in the format %(Property).
- To modify the default styles for a text item, click its icon to display the
command bar, and then click the Styles tool (see Specifying Global Styles and Local Formats for Report Items). To override the default styles for this
instance, click the Format tool.
