In the Report Styles window, you can create a new style that reports can appear in, or you can change an existing report style. The Report Styles window lets you format a number of report sections that appear on the report, such as report print date, company name, or report totals.

What report sections can I format?

The report sections you can choose to either show or not are Company Name, Title 1, Title 2, and Filter Settings.
