report; and of easily combining database fields.

On the Insert Tools toolbar, click Insert Text Object. A cursor
appears.
2. Position the cursor where you want the text object to appear in the report.
Click once on the border of the text object to select it for resizing and
moving.
Double-click inside the text object to select it for editing. The Design tab
ruler changes to a text object ruler sized to the length of the selected
object. To the left, a tab indicator appears. By clicking the tab indicator,
you can cycle through the four tab options available. Once you have
chosen the desired tab, click the position on the ruler where you want to
insert it.
