Organizing the Report Structure

It is possible to organise the report structure in the following ways

•Switch on or off any section in the report - this allows you to remove certain sections from the report if you do not require them (e.g. if the report contains a glossary section, and you do not wish it to appear in the generated report).

•Move sections to different locations relative to one another in the report - this allows you to tailor the report as you prefer it (e.g. you might like to put sign interpretations before house interpretations, or vice-versa, or put the glossary at the beginning instead of the end).

•Restore the original (author’s) report structure.

>> To enter the report structure organising dialog

1.Select “Structure...” from the “Report” menu.

This will display the Report Structure dialog, displaying the report’s structure as a hierarchical list of section titles in the report. Any section which contains subsections will have a ‘-’ minus or ‘+’ plus symbol preceding it.

•        The ‘-’ minus symbol indicates that the subsections are “expanded” and are displayed beneath it. Clicking on this symbol will “unexpand” the subsections and hide them.

•        The ‘+’ symbol indicates that this section has subsections, but they are currently not displayed. Clicking on this symbol will “expand” the subsections and display them.

>> To switch on or off any section in the report

1.Highlight the required section by clicking on it, and then click on the Section On/Off button, or alternatively just double-click on it.

This will switch it off if it was on, or switch it on if it was off. Sections which are switched off are shown with a red cross through the icon at the beginning of the section description. Note that if a section is switched off, then any subsections of that section will also not appear in the report, regardless of whether they have been switched off individually as well.

>> To alter the title of any section in the report

Highlight the required section, and then click again on it’s description.

This will switch the description text into editable mode, and you can overtype it with new text or edit it as you wish.

>> To move a section up or down the list

1.Highlight the section that you wish to move, and then click on the up or down arrow button in the Section Control frame.

This will move the highlighted section either up or down the list relative to the other sections at the same hierarchical level.

>> To restore the original report structure

1.Click on the Restore button.

This will restore the structure to the original (author’s) report structure, and any changes that you have made to the structure will be lost.

>> To save any changes that you have made to the structure

1.Click on the Save button.

This will save your changes, and return you to the Main Window.
