Note: This procedure provides steps to create a matrix object manually.
The recommended method for creating a matrix object is to use the Report Block
Wizard (choose InsertReport Block
in the Paper Layout view).
To create a matrix object:
In the Paper Layout view,
click in the tool palette,
then drag a rectangle to create a repeating frame.
In the Property Inspector, under the Repeating Frame node, set the Source property to the "column" for the matrix, and set the Print Direction property to Down.
Click
in the tool palette again, then drag a rectangle to create a second repeating
frame, intersecting the first repeating frame.
In the Property Inspector, under Repeating Frame, set the Source property to the "row" for the matrix, and set the Print Direction property to Across.
Drag a rectangle around both repeating frames to select them, then choose
InsertLayout Matrix.
This creates a matrix object that is the intersection of the two repeating
frames. For example:
Double-click the matrix object to set its properties.
