Move Report Elements

You can use the mouse or keyboard to move an element. You can only move the element inside the band in which it was originally placed.

Using the mouse

1. Hold the select mouse button down over the element until a dotted line appears around it and a small box is displayed on the mouse pointer.
2. Still holding down the button, move the mouse to the element's new position. The outline of the element's frame will follow the mouse to indicate where the element will be moved to.
3. When the element is in the required position, release the select mouse button. The element will be moved to that place on the report.

Using the keyboard

Tips

• To get help on any of the windows in the Report Generator, press the F1key.
• If you make a mistake, selecting Undo from the Edit menu will return the design of your report to the way it was before you made your last change.
• You cannot overwrite any of the pre-designed reports once you have modified them. You can save the modified report under a new name.
• You can move more than one element simultaneously by selecting multiple elements instead of a single one.
