Report sections

The Design tab is divided into five sections: Report Header (RH), Page
Header (PH), Details (D), Report Footer (RF), and Page Footer (PF). If at
any time you are unsure of the report section in which you are working, simply
look at the shaded area to the left of the report which always displays either
the section names or the initials that designate the names. See

Design tab

.

If the Short Section Names check box is selected in the Design View area
of the Options dialog box, then the Report Header, Page Header, Details,
Report Footer and Page Footer section names will appear as RH, PH, D,
RF and PF respectively. If this check box is not selected, follow these steps:
