Making an object underlay a following section
Using this example, you can make a logo underlay multiple sections. This
procedure is similar to the one for inserting a company watermark to serve
as a report background.
To make an object underlay a following section, first place the object in the
section above the section you want it to underlay. Then select the Underlay
Following Sections check box in the Section Expert for the section in which
the object is placed.
To create a basic report
1.
Create a report using the Customer table in Xtreme.mdb.
The Xtreme.mdb file is located on the Business Objects Technical Support
web site

Place {customer.CUSTOMER NAME} and {customer.LAST YEAR'S
SALES} side-by-side in the Details section of the report.

that the program places in the Page Header section of each field.

{customer.REGION}.
