Changing the alignment of page headings and footings

The default alignment for page headings and footings is centered (CENTER), but you can change the alignment on the FORM.PAGE panel.

In this example, you change the alignment of the page footing to the left margin of the report.

To change the alignment of a page heading or footing:

1. Move the cursor to the ALIGN field for the line you want to change.
2. Type the new alignment value. For this example, change the alignment for line 1 of the page footing to LEFT, and type ** Company Name ** as the footing text.

   Figure 109. Change the alignment of page headings and footings on FORM.PAGE.
