Exercise 9:Reviewing the Layout

This section takes 5 minutes. 

Review the layout 

   1.  Choose  other keys until  Review Layout is displayed.

   2.  Choose  Review Layout.

       BRW displays the following screen:


            

       Every line of every lineset is shown on the Review Layout screen.
       You can go to Review Layout from any Define Lines screen to see if
       the lines are correctly aligned and then return to the Define
       Lines screen to make changes if necessary.

   3.  Choose  Exit until you return to the Define Report screen.

   4.  Choose  other keys until you get to the  Save Report key.  Choose  
       Save Report.

       All the specifications you have made are recorded in the report
       specification file.  This file holds the details of your report
       and is used by BRW as the source from which to compile the report.

   5.  You can print out a listing of the specification file by choosing  
       List Report from the Select Report screen.
