To insert fields, drag the desired field from the Field Explorer onto the report. Use the shortcut menu to insert field objects and other report objects that are not available in the Field Explorer (for example, text objects, summary fields, charts, subreports, pictures, and so on).
To insert additional fields and report objects
To do anything with a field (change the font, move it, and so on), you first have to select it. When a field is selected, the object frame displays handles on its right, left, top, and bottom edges. These handles indicate that the field is selected, and therefore active.
