You can use tables in your report to control where objects appear. Tables can be inserted anywhere in a report, such as a header, a footer, or the page body. After you create a table, insert the objects you want in the cells.
You can also apply a predefined table style to tables.
The alignment buttons can also be used to determine where objects appear in a report.
In the Insertable Objects pane, click the Toolbox tab.
Drag Table to
the report.
The Insert Table dialog box appears.
In the Number of columns and Number of rows boxes, type the number of columns and rows you want the table to have.
If you want to have the table span the width of the report page, select the Maximize width check box.
If you want to add borders to the table, select the Show borders check box.
Click OK.
Apply a table style to quickly format tables. You can also apply a table style to lists, crosstabs, and repeater tables.
Click the table, list, or crosstab to which you want to apply a table style.
From the Table menu, click Apply Table Style.
In the Table styles box, click the table style that you want.
Tip: Some styles are unique to tables, lists, or crosstabs.
If you are applying a table style to a table or list, in the Apply special styles to section, select or clear the various column and row check boxes based on how you want to treat the first and last columns and rows.
Some check boxes may not be available for particular table styles, or to particular columns or rows.
If you are applying a table style to a list or crosstab, select the Set this style as the default for this report check box to set the style as the default for all lists and crosstabs.
For a list, you may need to clear the First column and Last column check boxes in the Apply special styles to section before you can select this check box. In addition, some tables styles cannot be set as the default.
Click OK.
