Identifying and working with areas and sections
By default, each area contains only a single section. The name for that section
appears directly to the left of the section. If you have multiple sections in an
area, the sections are designated as a, b, c, and so forth.
Note:
• Initials, such as RH, PH, D, PF, RF, and so on, are used to identify each
section if you have selected the Short Section Names check box in the
Design View area of the Options dialog box.
• If you right-click the shaded area containing a section name, a shortcut
menu appears with section-specific options.
If you have selected the Show Rulers options on the Layout tab of the Options
dialog box, the program displays a section ruler immediately to the left of
each section. The section ruler is used to add, remove, and move guidelines,
and to provide a visual reference when you are placing objects. See
Designing with guidelines .
Whenever a new section is added, the program creates a ruler for that
section. See
Using multiple sections in reports .
Other Design tab capabilities
There are several other capabilities built into the Design tab. With the Design
tab, you can:
• Resize a section by dragging its boundary. See Resizing a section .
• Split a section (create two sections from one) by clicking its left boundary.
See
Splitting a section .
