To display or print summary data on separate pages, add a page break
before or after a sub-summary part. In Layout mode, choose Insert Part from
the Layout menu. In the Insert Part dialog box, select a summary part, and
then choose an option for a page break.

Copying summary data

You can copy data in summary fields when you’re in page view and when a
sub-summary, leading grand summary, or trailing grand summary exists. For
example, copy values from summary fields into a spreadsheet, and then
display a bar chart using those values.

To copy summary data, choose Browse from the Layout menu, then choose
Page View from the Window menu. Choose Copy Summaries from the Edit menu.
Open the application or document to hold the copied data, and then paste the
data (for example, select an area in the document and choose Paste from the
Edit menu).

Resizing and deleting parts

Start by choosing Layout from the Layout menu.

Creating reports

Using named searches, named sorts, and layouts you have already created,
you can make reports that find and reorder records and print the result. For
example, you might want to set up a report to print the California addresses
from your database on Avery 5164 mailing labels.

To create a report, choose New Report from the Report

pop-up menu.
