About the Text Tab

The Text tab options enable you to add text before or after a selected report item. The item can be text, numeric, or even blank. In both preceding and trailing text, you can enter any ASCII character. Additionally, you can combine text with a text variable, such as $DATE, to enhance a title, footer, or other report component.
