Crystal Report Quick User Guide
The Report Gallery offers you a choice of "experts." An expert walks you
through the process of creating a report from start to finish. By using an
expert, you can create a variety of reports: standard, form letter, form, cross-
tab, subreport, mailing label, drill down, and OLAP. You can also base a
report on an existing report.
Additionally, you can create a blank report if you want to build a report from
scratch. You can create three types of custom reports: normal, cross-tab, and
multi-column. Regardless of the type of custom report you choose, you must
select the source of the data that will be exposed by the custom report. The
three possible data sources are a data file, a SQL/ODBC database, and a data
dictionary.

You can change the size and placement of report objects from either the
Design tab or the Preview tab. You can use the Preview mode to see how
your report will look when objects are resized and moved. However, if your
report has a lot of data, modifying report objects in Preview mode will
require significantly more time than modifying them in Design mode.

One reason you group data is to create subtotals within the report.
When you group data, you have two options. You can specify that a group is
kept together so that records within a group are printed contiguously on the
same page. This assumes that no group is longer than one page. You can
also specify that a group header is repeated on each new page so that if a
group spans more than one page, the header is repeated on each page that the
group occupies.
