The left margin of your Header/Footer document to determine its left margin positioning on your final report. Note: If you wanted a different left margin for the item (i.e. indented from the left margin), then you would want to insert a multi-column table when originally creating a template, so that the starting border of the 2nd column could be used for placing your actual item you want printed.
• To add extra space before the element prints, that is space above, first make sure your cursor is in the outside table cell. Then use Table > Split above current row to add a carriage return above the table. Next you may highlight the line, and adjust its font size to adjust the spacing.
• To add extra space after the element prints, highlight and adjust the size of the carriage return on the line after the table.
• The exact same template or a copy of it with slightly different settings (created by selecting the element and changing its name) could also be selected for printing other single page setup elements, such as the form, heading or reference text information.

To install the special pre-designed documents:

1. Before saving or unzipping the included files into your Data folder, as a precaution use Office Management File > Backup All Files to back up your existing layouts and documents before continuing. Note that installing these files will overwrite your existing Header/footer and index documents. Anything you customized directly in these documents might need to be set up again later.

2. Unzip or save the included files to your 3D "Data" folder location, replacing your prior header/footer and index files.

3. Open a report in the Report Writer. Use File > Page Setup to verify that the "Default Report Header.w3d" is specified as the header/footer document and the "Index Document Template.w3d" is specified as your index document there. If not, then use the Browse button to select those documents respectively. Save and Exit when done.

4. Click Preferences > Preferences, Logo tab. Use Browse to select your company logo graphic file. When done click OK. Now your report header should automatically import your company logo into the header areas of your report.

5. Preview a report to check the new look. If needed, use File > Page Setup in the report writer to further Customize your header/footer or index documents. You'll notice a special logo field is present where the logo imports automatically.   See Preferences Help topic for more details about the logo field.
