Need to produce a report quickly for an upcoming meeting? Using control layouts in Microsoft Office Access 2007 can save you lots of manual steps. A control layout is like a table where you can align and format your data more easily.

This demo shows you how to display just the information you need on your report. You'll see how to delete the fields you don't need and add new fields, also how to add gridlines and adjust the line width, style, and color. The control layout makes automatic adjustments in the layout as you make your changes.

How to do it (text version):

• Modify, edit, or change a report
