About the Template Editor

The Template Editor is a work area in which you can define objects and formatting properties for your templates. It is similar to the Paper Layout view of the Report Editor. You can create, delete, and modify objects (for example, page numbers, text, and graphics) in the margin area. You cannot create and delete objects in the body area, but you can modify the properties of body objects in the Property Inspector (Toolsright arrowProperty Inspector).

The Report Style list allows you to view the layout for a selected report style. To define default settings for all report styles, you can choose Default from the Report Style list. To make changes for an individual report style, you can select that report style from the Report Style list to specify settings that override the default.
