You can include the following elements in a report:
- Cover Page—A separate page at the front of a report.

- Headers—A note at the top of a page. You can use one or all of the following headers: a centered header printed on the first page of the report; a left, centered, or right header printed on each page of the report.
- Footers—A note at a bottom of a page. You can use one or all of the following footers: a centered footer printed on the last page of the report; a left, centered, or right footer printed on each page of the report.

For example, you might want to type Customer Orders in a header for a report that lists each customer’s orders. Note that you can enter information that spans several lines by inserting a carriage return at the end of each line.
- Double-click a function in the Function list.
Functions insert a variable value into the element you create when you print the report. For example, you can use a function to print the current date in every header in your report.Table 4–2 lists the available functions.
The following figure shows an example of a header that centers the words “Customer Orders” and the current date on each page of the report.
