Editing column and group labels

Labels are items that contain static text. In a typical report, some labels are editable, while others are not. Examples of labels you can edit include report titles or author names. Examples of non-editable labels include standard copyright or confidentiality statements.

You can change the content of the column label by choosing the Header option from the right-arrow menu. You can modify properties such as the font, the font size, the background color, and so on. You can also edit the text of the label.

How to edit a label

1  
Select the column. From the right-arrow menu, choose HeaderFont, or HeaderAlignment and modify the properties as needed.
2  
Choose HeaderChange Text to delete existing text and type the text you want to display, as shown in Figure 3-13. Press Enter. The edited text appears on the label.
