Technical Notes
When you add a text box to a Page (layout) in the Page Master view, the actual text inserted in the box will show in the Report wherever that layout is used. If instead, you'd like to add a text box in the same position with the same formatting, but allow the text to be editable in Normal view you will need to Duplicate a title text box from one of the default pages and use that. More info on customizing your report using the Page Master can be found in How to Create a Template Document.
