Understanding Lines and Boxes

Use boxes to bring attention to specific data; use lines to set off totals and grand totals. You can apply rectangles and other line styles to most fields in a report section. Single and double lines are available to position either above or below fields.

You cannot enclose columns or entire report sections in boxes. However, with some experience, you can use rectangles in group sections to group fields. You must create the group section manually, instead of using the Director, because the rectangles must be added to the section before any fields are included in the section layout.

These line options are available for both constants and variables:

• No Lines

  This option is selected by default for variable fields. You must clear this option to activate the remaining options.

• Single Rectangle

• Single Line Over

• Double Line Over

• Single Line Under

  This option is selected by default for column headings.
