Specify an Anchor Style for a Text Field

You can change the default anchor style of a text field in a report so that it moves with the bottom or right side of the report section when the section’s borders are changed.

By default, when a report section is resized, images and text fields in the section maintain the same distance between the top and left side of the report section.

1. Click a text field on the design surface to select it.
   See Add a Text Field to a Header or Footer.
2. Click Anchor on the Text Field tab to view anchor style options.
   The text field’s current anchor style displays. The gray bars that are displayed show you which sides of the report section the text field is anchored to.
3. To clear an anchor, click the gray bar indicating an active anchor.
4. To add an anchor, click the appropriate clear bar.
   For example, to anchor a text field to the bottom and right side of the report section, clear the gray bars at the top and left side, and click the clear bars at the bottom and right side of the anchor style selection control.
