You can draw boxes in reports to make a report aspect stand out and to highlight specific information. For example, to quickly locate the totals in a financial report, place the totals in a shaded box.
To insert a box:
Click on the Object Toolbar, or select Insert, then Box.
In the report layout, reposition or resize the box.
Optional: Change the box's properties by selecting the box and entering information in the Property Explorer (see Using the Property Explorer), or by double-clicking the box and entering information in the Box/Oval Properties dialog box.
