the original object to move the copies.

You can format any copy of a repeated report object, but changes you
make are applied to all copies.

Report objects in a section with the Relative Positions option selected in
the Section Expert cannot be repeated.

Numbering horizontal pages

A Special Field called Horizontal Page Number lets you number horizontal
pages.

Horizontal Page Number field, or if you insert such a field into another field
or text object, the Repeat on Horizontal Pages option is not automatically
turned on.
