Use Features of Underline Following Section From Section Expert

Underlaying objects placed in report section appear next to or underneath objects placed in the following report section.

Note   The underlay feature works by report section. All objects in that section will underlay the following section.

You can use the underlay feature to format reports for pre-printed forms, or to insert a chart or an employee picture to print beside the details pertaining to the chart or employee.

If you print on pre-printed forms, you will be able to:

• scan a form
• place it in the report as a bitmap
• use the underlay feature to line up the bitmap and report, as well as move objects anywhere you want them to appear
• eliminate the need to print the forms separately by printing the report and the form as a single unit
