Previewing the report


In this section you will preview your report to see what it will look like when you print it. Usually you preview your report when you make changes that affect the way it looks.

  1. Select Design->Preview from the menu bar.

    The report displays. Notice that it includes the header information for the report and information from the database.

    InfoMaker retrieves information for all contacts and displays as many as will fit on the screen.

    If some of your columns are displaying too close together, ignore it for now. We will fix the spacing of the columns later on in the tutorial.

  2. Use the scrollbar on the right side of the window to see more data.

  3. Click the Preview button in the PainterBar.

    You return to the Report painter workspace.
