If you are not certain the report will contain the information you want, you can

click Print Preview to examine the entire report before actually printing it. The

header page is not included in the previewed pages.

Reports associates this file extension with WordPad. WordPad is used to display

the report. Macintosh workstations use a custom file viewer to display the

Note:

Reports sends the report to the application using a specific page length. As
