To view the results, refresh the report. If you disabled field clipping, any
numeric/currency field values that are larger than the field objects containing
them will be represented by number signs (######).

Selecting multiple objects

You can select multiple objects, including text, field, chart, map, bitmap,
OLAP grid, Cross-Tab and OLE objects, to format them together.

Once you have selected multiple objects, you can move, align, size, cut, and
copy and paste them as a group. You can also change their font, color, and
paragraph style.

Objects are moved, aligned, and sized based on a "main" object, which is
usually the last object you select. You can change the main object to another
by right-clicking the desired object.

To select multiple objects

1.

Click one object, and Ctrl+click the other objects you want to select.

Note:

You can also lasso a number of objects by left-clicking and dragging your
cursor over an area.

2.

Right-click the main object.

3.

On the short-cut menu, select the appropriate formatting option.

To select all objects in a section

1.

On either the Design or Preview tab, right-click the gray area to the left
of the section you want to work with.

2.

From the shortcut menu, select Select All Sections Objects.
