Part III Part III Building Reports with Special Formatting The chapters in this Part provide steps to build reports that include special formatting. The example reports show you how to wrap text data, add headers and footers, format headers with database values that change at runtime, renumber pages, include intermixed fields, suppress labels, use conditional text, and add text, color, and graphics to your report. This Part contains the following chapters: ■ Chapter 15, Building a Wrapped Field Report A wrapped field report wraps the data on word boundaries if it is too long to fit in one line. The report contains a field that is of a fixed horizontal width but can expand vertically if the contents of the break field are longer than the specified width. The contents of the fields are not truncated. ■ Chapter 16, Building a Header and Footer Report A header and footer report contains boilerplate or fields in the header or footer section. This report has a page header printed in the upper margin area of every page of the report and a footer printed at the end. ■ Chapter 17, Building a Header with Database Values Report A header with database values report can include dynamic values in the page header of the report. For example, you can print both the first and last department numbers found on each page. ■ Chapter 18, Building a Report with Graphics, Text, and Color A report with graphics, text, and color enables you to modify the look of your report. You can enhance a report by adding an image to the margin, adding a title or a border, or applying different fonts and text styles. ■ Chapter 19, Building a Report that Renumbers Pages by Repeating Frame A report that renumbers pages by repeating frame displays page numbers using the format Page X of Y Pages.
