The Report Editor's Paper Layout view is a work area in which you can modify the format of your paper report. The default format for your report is defined by the information you specify in the Report Wizard. You can modify the format by working with layout objects (boilerplate text and graphic objects, frames, repeating frames, graphs, fields, anchors, file links, and report blocks). In this view, objects and their property settings are represented symbolically to highlight their types and relationships.
The Paper Layout view is similar to the Paper Design view, in that it is a work area in which you modify the format of your report. However, the Paper Design view displays only when you run your report, allowing you to preview your report and manipulate the actual, or live, data at the same time. In the Paper Design view, you can customize reports interactively, meaning that you can see the results immediately as you make each change.
To display the Paper Layout view:
