Creating Headers and Footers

You can design a custom header and footer in your report using inches or centimeters as your unit of measure for the height. The header is located immediately below the top margin, and the footer is located immediately above the bottom margin. Headers and footers can be used to add a description, add graphics, or insert text functions such as GetCell, Date, and Page. For more information, see Designing Headers and Footers.

  To create headers and footers:

  1. Access the Report Properties sheet by clicking an unused area of the report page.

  2. In the Header Height text box, perform an action:

    • If you want to include a header in your report, enter the height of the header.

      When you specify a height for the header and footer, the system takes into account the top and bottom margins and page size specified in Page Setup. For more information, see Changing the Page Setup.

    • To exclude a header in your report, enter zero (0).

    • If you want to include a footer in your report, enter the height of the footer.

      When you specify a height for the header and footer, the system takes into account the top and bottom margins and page size specified in Page Setup.
