Database documents

Database documents are useful for managing and organizing collections of
information, such as address lists, student or customer records, or research
notes. In a database document you can accumulate information, sort it, and
print attractive reports. You can also perform sophisticated searches to find
and work with only the information you want. By creating different layouts
(views) of the data, you can organize and present the same data in many
different ways. You can also enhance the data by adding pictures, patterned
lines, or other objects to the database document.
