Controls in page header

Controls in page footer Detail section

You can easily delete one or more attached controls in a report. Simply select the desired controls

and press Delete. However, if you want to move the label to the Page Header section (rather than

simply deleting it), you can cut the label instead of deleting it. When removing attached controls,

there are three choices:

l (^) Delete only the label control.
l Cut the label control to the Clipboard.
l (^) Delete or cut the label and the text-box control.
Oddly enough, you can’t simply drag a label from the Detail section to the page header. Dragging
an attached label from the Detail section drags its text box along with it. You must cut the label
from the Detail section and paste it into the Page Header section.
If you select the label control and cut it by pressing Ctrl+X, only the label control is removed. If
you select the text-box control and cut or delete it, the label and the text-box controls are removed.
