A report is a layout that has a named search and a named sort associated with it. For example, you could set up a report that prints mailing labels (a Labels layout) for all addresses in California (using a named search) organized by ZIP code (using a named sort).

Before you can create a report, you need to create the layout, the named search, and the named sort that will be associated with it.

1	If you're not already in Browse or List mode, choose Browse or List from the Layout menu.
2	Choose New Report from the report pop-up menu, in the status panel (on the left of the document window).
3	Type a name for the report.
4	Choose a layout, named search, and named sort from the pop-up menus.
5	If you want to print the report each time you generate it, select "Print the Report."

To use a report:
