2.Supply an Output Filename to save the report into; always include the extension .RTF as part of the filename.
3.Provide a Template Name to save this report set-up.
4.Select a report Style: Formal or Basic.
5.Type a Heading for your report; this appears as the first heading item in your output.
6.Select your required Heading Style and Initial Heading Level Indent from the drop-down lists.

Note: It is recommended that you enter a full path name for your report. The images in your report are saved externally in an images directory, and supplying the full directory path avoids confusion over the location of these images. Note also that if you move your report, you must also move the images directory.
