To add text to a report template

1. Create or modify a report template.

The report appears in the Report Designer.

2. In the Toolbox, click the Text tool.

3. Position the cross-hair pointer on the template where you want to insert the text, and then click and drag the mouse to define the size.

4. In the Properties Window, click in the right column of the Text field. For more information about the Properties Window, see Using the Properties Window in a report template or layout.

5. Type the text you want to add to the template.

If the text does not fit in the text box, it wraps to the next line.

6. Select the text object, and then use the buttons and lists on the toolbar to format the text. For more information about formatting text, see Formatting text in a report template.
