Tutorial: Append an Existing RwRpt File

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

In this lesson, you will append the page-in-progress with an existing ReportWorks image file that contains a logo and company legend. In your own work you may find it handy to create templates such as this and then append them to new drawings.

This lesson assumes you have completed the previous lesson.

1. With the ReportWorks image tutorial.RwRpt still displayed in the ReportWorks window, click on the File | Append option.
2. Browse for the factory-installed file named rept_legend.RwRpt, in the Samples folder. Double-click on that file name to open it.
3. The program will add the contents of that file into the current drawing.

4. Click on the Tutorial Project name in the Layers pane to make it active.
5. Adjust the position of the profile image and the map in the layout so that the profile is in the top section and the map is in the lower section, to the left. You can click-and-drag as well as resize as necessary. 
6. Update the title: Click on the Legend layer name to make it active. Double-click on the text at the top of the diagram that reads Place Project Title Here. In the displayed window, type in the following text: Tutorial Sample Data   and click the Apply button. Click Close. The title will be updated as requested.
7. Save this updated layout using the File | Save command.
