Create a Header or a Footer

For an individual report section, a header and a footer can contain a banner image, static text, dynamic text, and a dividing line. All content is optional. To create a header or a footer, complete these steps:

    • Click Header and select Edit to open the Edit Header dialog box.
    • Click Footer and select Edit to open the Edit Footer dialog box.
  2. Select the name of an image in the Banner drop-down list and specify an alignment.

  3. Enter text into the Text field. You can type static text, you can select from the Dynamic Text drop-down list, or you can use a combination of both methods.
    If you use the Dynamic Text drop-down list, click Insert to insert the selected text. For more information, see About Dynamic Text in Headers and Footers.
    Tip
    After inserting a dynamic text item, type at least one character or space before inserting another dynamic text item.
  4. Use the formatting tools to change the font, font size, font style, background color, foreground color, and alignment.
    Tip
    Press ENTER between each paragraph. Text alignment is applied to the currently selected paragraph.
  5. (Optional) Perform one of these tasks:
    • For a header, select the Include a horizontal line between the header and report content check box.
    • For a footer, select the Include a horizontal line between the footer and report content check box.
  6. Click OK.
Note: To collapse the Header or Footer section, click collapse pane icon. Collapsing the header, footer, or both in Edit mode does not change how the header or footer displays in View mode.
