First, we'll place the Label objects that identify the data in the columns.

 

To place Label objects:

 

1.In the "Report Designer" window, and with the title still selected, choose the Label button from the Standard Controls toolbar.
2.Position the cursor near the top of the Detail section by the left margin and click the left mouse button. Refer to the sketch of the report to help with positioning objects.

 

The Label will appear in the Report Header section with the text "Label2" as well as the Edit toolbar will become enabled with the text "Label2" inside it. The number next to the Label will increase as more Label objects are added to the report. The font size of the object will be set to 18.

 

3.Change the font size to 10.
4.In the Edit toolbar replace the text with "ID/Last Name:".
5.Select the "Right Justify" option for justification.
6.To see the complete text click and drag the right side of the object until all of the letters are visible.

 

Continue to place Label objects on the report. Remember, the objects added will use the same font, size, and justification as the object selected. If a report object with different font settings is selected, the "Format" toolbar would change to the properties of that object. Any objects placed after selecting that object will follow its properties. Repeat the steps to place the remaining text objects:
