Page Style and Editing

edited April 2004 in End User
I am looking at developing a form filler and Report Builder is definitely
the tool to use. Although I appreciate the concept of separating the Page
Style from the actual form writer but it is actually not that simple to do
page layout. Apart from having to navigate to Preview to see how things pan
out, is there a way which I could underlay the Page Style to the form then
make the necessary layout adjustments to the report fields layout. It would
make things easier.

Thanks.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    This would be a cool feature for a future version - to display the page
    style in the background of the design workspace.

    The only way to display a background layer for a band now is to use a
    TppImage and place the objects on top of the image. One of the ReportBuidler
    tutorials uses this approach for a Tax form.
