#### Identifying and working with areas and sections

By default, each area contains only a single section. The name for that section appears directly to the left of the section. If you have multiple sections in an area, the sections are designated as a, b, c, and so forth.

Note:

- Initials, such as RH, PH, D, PF, RF, and so on, are used to identify each section if you have selected the Show Short Section Names in Design check box on in the Options dialog box.
- If you right-click the shaded area containing a section name, a shortcut menu appears with section-specific options. If you right-click the shaded area to the left of the section names, a shortcut menu appears with area-specific options.

The program displays a section ruler immediately to the left of each section. The section ruler is used to add, remove, and move guidelines, and to provide a visual reference when you are placing objects. See Using guidelines.

Whenever a new section is added, the program creates a ruler for that section. See Using multiple sections in reports.

#### Other Design tab capabilities

There are several other capabilities built into the Design tab. With the Design tab, you can:

- Resize a section by dragging its boundary. See Resizing a section.
- Split a section (create two sections from one) by clicking its left boundary. See Splitting a section.
- Add horizontal and vertical guidelines by clicking the rulers. See Using guidelines.
- Zoom in and out on a report at any magnification from 25% to 400% of the original size. See Undo/Redo activities.
