      </table><br><p class="para_topic">The <b class="uiTerm">Report Editor</b> constructs or edits a report template. The basic layout of a report is a grid of cells that contain report elements. The <b class="uiTerm">Report Editor</b> controls the number of cells, and the size and content of each cell. There are two main areas in the <b class="uiTerm">Report Editor</b> dialog. The left side of the dialog contains the general controls for the editor. The right side of the dialog contains a representation of the template grid layout.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">When you drop a report element into a cell, the element displays in the cell. A yellow cell in the grid is an empty cell. Cells containing an actual report element have a colored icon, such as the <b class="uiTerm">Image</b> icon, along with a short label. Cells can also contain the gray arrow icons. These cells are overflow cells that indicate a report element spans more than one row or column. The arrows in the overflow cells point back to the owning report element.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">You can change the width of a column of cells by placing the cursor on the separator on either side of the column heading and dragging the separator left or right.</p>
