## Section Expert

This expert appears when you choose the Section command from the Format menu.

Use the Section Expert to make formatting changes that affect entire sections of your report.

##### Sections

This box lists all of the sections in the active report. When you highlight a section in this list, the program sets the dialog box buttons to indicate the actions you can take and the properties you can set for the selected section.

##### Insert

Use this button to insert a new report section immediately below and of the same type as the section you have selected in the Sections list. For example, if you have a Details section selected and click the Insert button, the program will insert a new Details section immediately below the selected section.

##### Delete

Use this button to delete the section you have selected in the Sections list. You can only delete sections that have been added to the originating sections; you cannot delete any of the originating sections.

##### Merge

Use this button to merge the current section with the companion section that appears immediately below it. For example, if you have three sections, Details A, Details B, and Details C, and you highlight Details B and click the Merge button, the program merges Details B and Details C into a single section.

Note: You cannot merge sections of different types; for example, you cannot merge a Details section with a Group Header section.

##### Arrow buttons

Use these buttons to move a section up or down with respect to other related sections. For example, if you have three sections, Details A, Details B, and Details C, if you highlight Details B and click the up arrow, the program moves the selected section to the top of the three Details sections. Conversely, if you highlight Details B and click the down arrow, the program moves the selected section to the bottom of the three.

Note: You cannot move a section past a section of a different type. For example, you cannot move a Details section past a Group Header section.
