NOTE: No online help is available to describe what happens when one of these buttons is chosen.

Description of Buttons

• Adjust Fields: Displays the dialog box to select fields. Use this button to remove some of the selected fields.
• Adjust Layout: Displays the dialog box to select a layout. The layout choices are Horizontal (the default) and Vertical. Selecting Vertical allows all fields to be displayed, placing one field on each line. Note, however, that this may create an extremely long report.
