Standard Components

Text - This component is used to display fixed text on your report for items such as column headers or report titles.

Memo - This component is used to display fixed text in a word wrapped fashion on your report. Using the MailMergeItems property and the Mail Merge Editor shown below, you can create a mail merge type of report where Rave will replace tokens in the memo text with a replacement string. Note that this replacement string can be edited with the Edit button, which will display the Data Text Editor for quite a bit of extra functionality.
