Using the underlay feature with maps

Since maps can only print in certain areas and sections of your report, the
underlay feature makes mapping even more useful. Instead of having a map
print before the data it represents, you can have the map appear alongside
the data, thus making the report easier to read and easier to understand.

To underlay a map

1.

Create your map and place it in the Report Header section.

For more information, see

Creating maps

.

2.

On the Report menu, click Section Expert.

Tip:

Another way to do this is to click the Section Expert button on the

Expert Tools toolbar.

The Section Expert dialog box appears.

3.

In the Sections area, click Report Header, then select the Underlay
Following Sections
check box.
