Adding Text Objects

Text objects are report objects that contain text or text functions.

For example, you can enter a label, description, or a function that retrieves the current date in a text box. You can enter multiple paragraphs of text. Like other report objects, you can move, resize, or reposition the area containing the text.

You can create a new text object or insert an existing text object into the report. New text objects are empty areas where you can enter text, text functions, or rich text from an editor or word processor. Text objects are stored in the repository and can be inserted into numerous reports. For example, you can add the same text object in all your report designs.

Note:

If you use text objects that do not contain text as design elements in a report, uncheck the Autosize text box in Text Properties to ensure that the text object is displayed correctly in the report.
