Improving Report Presentation

Now view the report in a browser and you will notice that we have got the same functionality as that of the report that we saw at the beginning of this walkthrough.

To improve the presentation of the report, you can get rid of the default headings that were generated by the wizard and instead use a Text Object to represent the headings and format it with various effects.

Crystal Report provides a number of options to choose from while formatting a Chart. I leave it to you to select a combination that suits your taste.  To get to the Chart Format Editor, right click on the Chart, select Format Chart, and then select General.

Click here to see how the report should look like in a browser

As the Stores table in the PUBS database doesn’t contain multiple orders for the same Store and Title combination, you will find only a single row every time on the Order details report.  If you try inserting some records directly to the table, you would notice that we still have a problem of the Order heading being repeated for each Order detail row.  This can be easily fixed by right clicking on the Order heading, selecting Format, and checking the Suppress if duplicated option.

Please tell me steps need to perform the above request
